A store bought a batch of color TVs and priced them at 20% profit. When 80% of the color TVs are sold, the rest are sold at a 20% discount on the price. What percent profit is made?

The color TVs were sold at a profit of 15.2%.

Solution: Let the purchase price of color TVs be x dollars per unit and the number of color TVs be y units.

Then according to the question, the cost price of y color TVs is xy dollars and the pricing of color TVs is 1.2x dollars each.

Sales of 80% of the color TVs sold at the pricing = 1.2x*y*80% = 0.96xy,

Sales of the remaining color TVs sold at a 20% discount on the pricing = 1.2x*0.8*y(1-80%) = 0.192xy.

Therefore, sales of all the y color TVs sold out = 0.96xy + 0.192xy = 1.152xy. 1.152xy.

Then the profit percentage of y color TVs sold out = (1.152xy-xy)/xy*100% = 15.2%.
