Question

A retailer purchased a machine listed at 15000 and got 10%
and 20% successive discounts. He had to pay 10% of the cost
price on transport. What should be the selling price of the
machine to earn 10% profit?​

Answer 1

Answer:

step1:

10% of 15000=10/100*15000=13500

step 2

again 20% discount of 13500

20/100*13500= 2700

13500-2700= 10800

but 10% of Additional transportation cost

10/100*10800=1080

now 1080+10800=11880

now to get 10% of 11880= 10/100*11880=1188

now 1188+11880=13068 final value
