Answer 2

Complete Question:

A shopkeeper marks his goods at such a price that after allowing a discount of 12.5% he makes a profit of 10%

To find:

Find the marked price of the article which costs 245.

Solution:

It is given that profit percent is 10 and cost price is Rs 245. discount percent is 12.5%

Finding the profit :

Profit on Cost price:

$245 \times \dfrac{10}{100} = 24.5$

Finding Selling Price:

Selling Price = Cost price + profit

Selling Price = 245 + 24.5

Selling Price = 269.5

Finding Discount:

Discount percent on Marked price:

Let the marked price be x

$= > \dfrac{12.5}{100} \times x$

$= > 0.125x$

Finding Marked Price:

Selling Price = Marked price - Discount

$269.5 = x - 0.125x$

$269.5 = 0.875x$

$x = \dfrac{269.5}{0.875}$

$x = 308$

Hence, the Marked price is Rs 308
