Question

A shopkeeper allows 10% discount to customers on the marked prize of the goods and still gets a profit of 25% . What is the cost prize of the goods if it is marked at 1250 rs

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the CP of tehe goods

The marked price = Rs. 1250.

Selling price after allowing 10% discount = 1250 * 90/100 = Rs. 1125

Profit = [SP - CP/CP]100

25 = [1125 - x / x]100

1/4 = 1125 - x/x

x = 4500 - 4x

5x = 4500

=> x = 900.

Thus the cost price of the goods = Rs. 900.
