Question

1. An article is marked at 10% above the cost price. When the selling price of
an article is increased by 20% , then the profit gets increased by Rs. 96. If the
marked price is Rs. 440 then find original selling price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

MP = 440, Also given MP = (110/100)*CP, so CP = Rs 400

Now SP – 400 = P

And given that, when SP increased by 20%:

(120/100)*SP – 400 = P + 96

Solve both equations

The answer is 480.

Hope it helps you..

Answer 2

Answer

20 % of SP = 96
