A Correct answer
Explanation

Let listed price = L. Shopkeeper cost = 0.8L (20% discount). Marked price = 1.15L. With 10% sales tax, buyer pays 1.15L × 1.1 = 1.265L = 7590. So L = 7590/1.265 = 6000. Shopkeeper cost = 0.8 × 6000 = 4800. Selling price (before tax) = 1.15 × 6000 = 6900. Profit = 6900 - 4800 = 2100. Profit percent = (2100/4800) × 100 = 43.75%.
