Question

A man sold an article which is marked at Rs. 400. At a discount of 15% he makes a profit of 25%. Find the selling price and cost price​

Answer 1

Answer:

SELLING PRICE = RS. 340

COST PRICE = RS. 300

Step-by-step explanation:

SELLING PRICE:

1) 15 / 100 * 400 -step 1 of percentage formula

2) 0.15 * 400 -step 2 of percentage formula

3) 60 -15% of 400, thus subtract from 400 to get the selling price

5) 400 - 60 = 340 -selling price

COST PRICE:

1) 25 / 100 * 400 -taking out 25% of 400

2) 0.25 * 400 -step 2 of percentage formula

3) 100 -25% of 400, thus subtract from 400 to get the cost price

4) 400 - 100 =  300 -cost price
