Question

A dealer purchased a carpet for 6000.After allowing a discount of 10% on its marked price,he gains 20%.Find the marked price.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 8000

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price =6000

Profit=20%

Profit =20%of 6000

=(20/100)*6000

=Rs 1200

Selling price = cost price + profit

= 6000+1200

=7200

Discount =10%

Discount =( Marked price - selling price)

=> selling price =marked price - discount

A/c

Let the marked price be - x

X-(10% of X) =7200

X-(10/100>×x =7200

X-0.1x=7200

0.9x = 7200

X= 7200/0.9

X=8000
