a dealar in furniture buys chairs at rs 340 each. at what price should he mark them fore sale .so that he may earn a profit 25% after giving 15%discount​

Answer 1

Answer:

500 rupee

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price = 340

profit 25%

sale price should be = 340(1+25/100)

= 340*125/100

= 340*5/4

= 85*5

= 425

this sale price should be after discount of 15%

marked price = sale price/(1-discount/100)

= 425/(1-15/100)

= 425/(85/100)

= 425*100/85

= 500

Answer 2

He should mark them for sale at Rs 500 each to earn a 25% profit after giving a 15% discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dealer bought the chairs at Rs 340 each.

Let the selling price marked by the dealer is Rs X

15% discount on the selling price that means=(15/100)×X

⇒(15/100)×X=3X/20

So, now each chair is sold at X-3X/20=17X/20

Now to get 25% , we have to equate ((17X/20-340)÷340)×100=25

Solving the above equation we will get, X=Rs500(answer)
