Question

8. A shopkeeper allows his customers 10% off on the marked price of goods and still
a profit of 25%. What is the actual cost to him of an article marked Rs 250?​

Answer 1

Answer:

discount=marked price and discount %

250x10/100=25

selling price=250-25=225

cost price=100/(100+profit%)xsp

=100/(100+25)x225

=180 is the cost

Answer 2

Answer:

Total profit to shopkeeper=25%-10%=15%

=cost price=250×100-15/100

=250×85/100

=212.50
