Question

a cell phone was marked at 40% above the cost price and successive discount of 25% and 10% was given on its marked price find the gain or loss percent made by the shockeeper

Answer 1

let the c.p. be 100
then m.p = 140
discount = 25%
discount= rs. 35
s.p. = 140 - 35= 105
gain = 10%
C.p= 105 ×100/ 100+10=1050/11
gain =105 -1050/11= 105 /11
gain % = gain/C.p. ×100
= 10% ___ans.
