Question

a merchant wants to get a profit of 20% after giving 25% discount. at what percentage above the cost price should he mark the labelled price​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = 20% = 360 Rs

So, Cost Price = 360 / 20 * 100 = 1800 Rs

And Sales Price = 1800 + 360 = 2160 Rs

Discount = 25% of marked price

So Sales Price = (100 - 25) % = 75% of marked price

=> 2160 = 75% of marked price

=> marked price = 2160 / 75 * 100 = 2880 Rs
