How much above the cost price should a dealer mark his goods so that after allowing a discount of 10%on the marked price he gains 8% |
|
Answer» solution:- let the CP be RS. 100 and MP be Rs. x gain % after discount = 12% gain = 12% of 100 = Rs. 12 ⇒ SP of the article = CP + Gain = Rs. (100 + 12) = Rs. 112 Discount % = 20% Discount = 20% of Marked Price = Rs.20/100 * x = Rs. 20x/100 = Rs. x/5 as da question says marked Price - discount = SP => x - x/5 = 112 => (5X - x)/5 = 112 => 4x/5 = 112 => x = 112 * 5/4 = Rs. 140 marked Price = Rs. 140 amount marked above the CP = MP - CP = Rs. (140 - 100) = Rs. 40 ∴ % amount marked above the CP = Amount increased/CP * 100 = 40/100 * 100 = 40% ================================================= pls FOLLOW tannuranna 59 in my following and me ✌️ |
