Question

A shopkeeper allows 15% discount and still makes 5% profit. Find the marked price of an article which costs him Rs. 272
Ans 336

Answer 1

Solutions :-

Given :
Discount = 15%
Profit = 5%
Cost Price = Rs 272


Find the Selling price :-

S.P = C.P + Profit % of C.P
= 272 + 5% of 272
= 272 + 13.6
= 285.6


Find the marked price :-

M.P = (S.P × 100)/(100 - discount)
= (285.6 × 100)/(100 - 15)
= 28560/85
= 336


Hence,
Marked price = Rs 336

Answer 2

Solutions :-


Discount = 15%
Profit = 5%
Cost Price = Rs 272


We know that,
S.P = C.P + Profit % of C.P
= 272 + 5% of 272
= 272 + 0.05 × 272
= 272 + 13.6
= 285.6


Now we have,
Selling price = 285.6


$M.P = ( \frac{ C.P\times 100}{100 - discount} ) \\ \\ = ( \frac{285.6 \times 100}{100 - 15} ) \\ \\ = \frac{28560}{85} = 336$


Answer : Marked price = Rs 336
