By using simple logic we can solve this...
if 115 labels price then cost price is 100
so 1024 labels price then cost price is (100/115)*1024=890.4347

so now C.P(cost price)=890.4347
now he allows 51.20 discount on S.P(selling price) so Original S.P=(1024-51.20)=972.8
So percentage Profit =((S.P-C.P)*100)/C.P=(972.8-890.4347)/890.4347 =9.25 %
please check the calculation..if wrong...procedure will be same..:)

Let Cost Price = Rs. x Then, Marked Price = Rs. 115% of x = Rs. (23/20)x
Here, x = 1024 for the article. So, Selling price = Rs. [{(23/20)*1024} - 51.20] = Rs. 1126.4
So, Profit % = [(1126.4 - 1024)/1024]*100 = 10%.
