Question

A dealer is selling an article at a discount of 15 percentage find :. 1) the selling price if the marked price is ₹500;. 2) the cost price if he makes 25percentage profit

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) marked price = 500

discount rate = 15%

discount = 500 * 15/100 = 75

selling price = 500 - 75

= 425

2) profit % = 25%

$selling \: price = cost \: price \times \frac{125}{100} \\ cost \: price = \frac{425 \times 100}{125} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{425 \times 4}{5} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 85 \times 4 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 340$
