MediumAptitude25 min20 XP
Problem

Why This Matters
Discount questions test whether you apply percentages to the marked price, not the cost price.
Examples
Example 1
InputCP = 800, MP = 1000, discount = 10%
Output12.5%
Selling price = 900. Profit = 100. Profit percentage = 100/800 * 100 = 12.5%.
Constraints

- Handle empty or small inputs when the prompt allows them.
- Keep the code readable and deterministic.
