Solution:

C.P. of articles = Rs. 100 (let)
Marked price of articles
=

{100×130}/{100}

= Rs. 130
S.P. of half of articles
=

{130}/2

= Rs. 65
S.P. of one-fourth of articles at 15% discount =

{65}/2 × {85}/{100}

= Rs. 27 .625
S.P. of remaining articles
=

{65}/2×{70}/{100}

= Rs. 22.75
Total S.P.
= Rs. (65 + 27.625 + 22.75)
= Rs. 115.375
∴ Profit % = 15.375% = 15
