Question

10. A tradesman allows a discount of 12% on the list price. How much above the C.P. must he
mark his articles to make a gain of 10%?​

Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P. be ₹100.

Gain = 10% = 10/100 × 100 = ₹10

Selling Price (S.P.) = ₹100 + ₹10 = ₹110

Discount = 12%

=> (100-12)% of M.P. = S.P.

=> 88% of M.P. = ₹110

=> 88/100 × M.P. = ₹110

=> M.P. = ₹110 × 25/22

=> M.P. = ₹125

M.P. - C.P. = ₹125 - ₹100 = ₹25

Required percentage = 25/100 × 100 = 25%
