Question

a shopkeeper allows 20% off on the Marked price of goods and still gets a profit of 25% what is the actual cost to him of an article marked rupees 500​

Answer 1

Answer:

320

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price = 500.

S.P = M.P - Discount

     = 500(1 - 20/100)

     = 500(80/100)

    = 400.

Profit = 25%

C.P = (S.P * 100)/100 + Profit

      = (400 * 100)/125

     = 320

Therefore, Actual cost = 320

$\color {red}\huge\bold\star\underline\mathcal{Question:-}$

We have to find CP ?

$\huge\underline\blue{\sf Given:}$

D% = 20

P% = 25

MP = 500

$\rule{200}{4}$

we know that,

$sp = \frac{mp \times(100 - d\%) }{100} \\ \\ sp = \frac{500 \times 80}{100} \\ \\ sp = 400$

Now,

$cp = \frac{sp \times 100}{(100 + p\%)} \\ \\ cp = \frac{400 \times 100}{125} \\ \\ cp = 320$
