Question

5. Pawan purchased
a TFT at 20% discount on the M.P. Had he bought it with 25% discount is increased to 15% what will be the gain percent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let lebeled price was 100.

Tarun bought = 100 - 20% of 100 = 80.

If Tarun bought it at 25% discount,

= 100 - 25% of 100 = 75.

Difference = 500

80 - 75 = 500.

5 = 500

1 = 500/5

80 = 100 *80 = 8000.

Correct Answer is Rs. 8000.

Alternatively,

Difference = 500

5% = 500.

100% = (500 *100)/5 = 10000.

100% is the lebeled price.

So, TV price = 10000 - 20% of 10000 = 8000.

Note : You can solve it by taking lebeled price as X as well.
