Question

A shopkeeper allows a discount of 15% on marked price what percent above the cost price must be the marked on the article to make a profit of 36%

Answer 1

Answer:60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cp=100

Mp=100+x. (We want to find x)

Sp=100+36=136(cp+profit)

Sp=mp(1-discount)=(100+x)(1-15/100)

136=(100+x)*(85/100)

X=60%
