Question

A shopkeeper bought a sewing machine for Rs. 3500. If he wants to earn a profit of 20% after giving a discount of 20% to the customer, what should be the marked price ??

Answer 1

let the marked price be x
20% discount on x=20% profit on 3500
x-20%of x= 3500-20%of 3500
x-20x/100=3500-20X3500/100
4x/5=6(3500)/5
2x=10500
x=5250

Answer 2

Bought price = 3500
selling price 3500+20%×3500
=3500+700
=4200 rs
selling price = 80% × x
4200 = 80% × x
5250 = x = market price
