Answer 1

Answer:

pls mark me as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price of an article = Rs.50

Therefore, SP of an article = 50×(100−20)100

=50×80100

Hence, cost price of an article = 40×100(100+25)

= 40×100125 = Rs.32

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A manufacturer marks an item at 50% over his cost price. However during a sale, he offers a discount of 40% of customers. If a customer pays Rs. 13.50 for the item, what is the manufacturer's net profit/loss on the transaction?

• Let the cost price be 100
• 50% on cost price will be 100 + 50 = Rs 150
• Therefore Marked Price = Rs 150
•   Also Discount = 40% = 40 / 100 x 150
•                                        = Rs 60
• Therefore selling price = 150 – 60
•                                          = Rs 90
•                        So selling price is less than cost price and hence it is loss.
•    So if selling price is Rs 90 cost price is 100
•    If selling price is 13.50 cost price is 100 x 13.50 / 90
•                                                            = Rs 15
•       Therefore loss = 15 – 13.50
•                               = Rs 1.50 loss
