Question

A dealer marked his goods 35% above cost price and allowed a discount of 20% on the marked
price. Find his gain or loss per cent ​

Answer 1

Answer:

8% Profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cost Price (CP) of goods be ₹100.

Marked Price (MP) = (100+35)% of CP = 135% of ₹100 = ₹135

Discount = 20% = 20/100 × ₹135 = ₹27

Selling Price (SP) = MP - Discount = ₹135 - ₹27 = ₹108

Profit = SP - CP = ₹108 - ₹100 = ₹8

Profit percent = Profit/CP × 100 = 8/100 × 100 = 8%

Answer 2

Answer:

Question:-

 · A dealer marked his goods 35% above cost price and allowed a discount of 20% on the marked  price. Find his gain or loss per cent .

To find:-

  · Gain or loss percent

Given:-

   · Discount = 20 %

   

Solution:-

 

⇒ C.P of goods = Rs. x

⇒ M.P of goods =  x + 35% of x = x + $\frac{35x}{100}$ = $\frac{135x}{100}$ = $\frac{27x}{20}$

⇒ Discount =  20 % of Rs. $\frac{27x}{20}$ = $\frac{20}{100}$ × $\frac{27x}{20}$ = $\frac{27x}{100}$

⇒ S.P = M.P − Discount = $\frac{27x}{20}$ - $\frac{27x}{100}$ = $\frac{135x - 27x}{100}$

⇒ $\frac{108x}{100}$ = Rs. $\frac{27x}{25}$

⇒Profit=S.P− C.P

⇒ $\frac{27x}{25}$ - x = Rs.$\frac{2x}{25}$

⇒ Profit % = $[\frac{profit}{C.P}$ × 100$]$  %

⇒ $\frac{2x}{25 X x}$ × 100 % = 8 %

Answer:-

Hence, it's a gain .the gain percent is 8 %.
