D Correct answer
Explanation

Interpreting makeup as markup, take the cost price as 100. A 50% markup gives a marked price of 150, and a 20% discount gives a selling price of 120, so the profit is 20%.

AI explanation

Assume the cost price is 100, which makes the marked price 150 after a 50 percent markup. A discount of 20 percent is applied to the marked price, making the selling price 150 minus 20 percent of 150, which equals 120. The profit is the selling price minus the cost price, yielding 120 minus 100, so the profit is 20 percent. The profit percentage will be 20%.
