Given:

Cost price of the smart TV = Rs. 158000

Markup percentage = 15%

Discount percentage = 10%

Formula Used:

Marked Price = Cost Price × (1 + Markup Percentage/100)

Selling Price = Marked Price × (1 - Discount Percentage/100)

Profit Percentage = [(Selling Price - Cost Price)/Cost Price] × 100

Calculation:

Marked Price = 158000 × (1 + 15/100)

⇒ Marked Price = 158000 × 1.15

⇒ Marked Price = 181700

Selling Price = 181700 × (1 - 10/100)

⇒ Selling Price = 181700 × 0.9

⇒ Selling Price = 163530

Profit Percentage = [(163530 - 158000)/158000] × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = (5530/158000) × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = 3.5%

Profit Percentage of the smart TV = 3.5%
