Question

A shopkeeper allows 20% off on the marked price
of goods and still gets 25% profit. What is
the actual cost to him of an article marked
& 250?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost price = Rs 160

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Marked price = Rs 250

Formulae : Markedprice (1 - D%) = C.P(1+G%)

here, Discount% = 20 %

Gain% = 25%

250(1 - 20/100) = C.P (1+25/100)

250 (80/100) = C.P (125/100)

25 *8 = C.P(5/4)

200*4/5= C. P

Rs160 = C. P
