Question

a lady purchased a jeans for rupees 900 she wants to sell it a profit of 15% after allowing a discount of 15% what should be the Marked price of the jeans​

Answer 1

Answer:

Her marked price should be Rs.1217.65

Step-by-step explanation:

CP = Cost Price (in Rs.) = 900

Profit% = 15

Discount in % = 15

MP = Marked Price = ?

SP = Selling Price = ?

She wants to make a profit of 15%

=> She needs to sell at 15% more than CP

=> SP = CP + 15% of CP

=> SP = CP + 0.15*CP

=> SP = 1.15*CP

Now, CP = 900

=> SP = 1.15*900

=> SP = 1035

Her selling price should be Rs.1035

Given that she wants to allow a discount of 15%

Now, MP less discount = SP

In our case,

MP - 15% of MP = SP

=> SP = MP - 0.15*MP

=> SP = 0.85*MP

=> MP = SP/0.85

Now, SP = 1035

=> MP = 1035/0.85

=> MP = 1217.65 (rounded off to nearest paisa)

Her marked price should be Rs.1217.65
