Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit or Loss is always calculated on the cost price. Marked Price - This is the price marked as the selling price on an article, also known as the listed price. Discount or Rebate - This is the reduction in price offered on the marked or listed price. If an article is sold at a gain of 10%, then SP = 110% of CP.
