Explanation

Let CP = 100. Marked price = 196 (96% markup). After 25% discount: SP = 196 × 0.75 = 147 per item. For 1 dozen (12 items sold), customer gets 14 items (12 + 2 free). Total CP for 14 items = 1400. Total received for 12 items = 12 × 147 = 1764. Profit = 1764 - 1400 = 364. Profit % = 364/1400 × 100 = 26%.
