Question

A dealer marks his goods at 25% above cost price and allow a discount of

10%. Find his profit %.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the C.P. of the goods be Rs.100

Then M.P. of the goods = Rs.125,

Discount = 10%

∴ S.P. of the goods = 90% of Rs.125 =

100

90

×Rs.125=Rs.112.5

∴ Gain % =

100

(112.5−100)

×100=12.5%

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the actual price be 100

Then, c. p be 125.

Discount=10%of 125

=12.5.

Then, S. P = 125-12.5

= 112.5

profit=S.P-C.P

=112.5-100

=12.5

Now, Profit%= profit×c.p/100

=12.5×100/100

=12.5 % ans.
