Question

A shopkeeper bought an almirah for rs. 4,500 he marked its price 30% percent above the cost and then allowed 20% discount find the marked price

Answer 1

Solution:-

Given:-

• The cost price of almirah=Rs.4500
• He marked it's price 30% above the cost price
• 20% discount allowed on marked price

To Find:-

• The marked price of almirah=?

According to the above information:-

$\rm{\implies Marked\: price=4500*\dfrac{130}{100}}$

$\rm{\implies Marked\: price=45*130}$

$\rm{\implies Marked\: price=Rs.5850}$

• Now, find the selling price of almirah

$\rm{\implies SP=MP(\dfrac{100-D\%}{100})}$

$\rm{\implies SP=5850(\dfrac{100-20}{100})}$

$\rm{\implies SP=5850*\dfrac{80}{100}}$

$\rm{\implies SP=585*8}$

$\rm{\implies SP=Rs.4680}$

Hence,

$\rm\red{\implies Marked\: price\:of\: almirah=Rs.5850}$

$\rm\green{\implies Selling\: price\:of\: almirah=Rs.4680}$

Answer 2

$\underline{\bigstar\:\textbf{According to the Question :}}$

$:\implies\sf MP=CP \times (100+Above)\%\\\\\\:\implies\sf MP=Rs.\:4500 \times (100+30)\%\\\\\\:\implies\sf MP=Rs.\:4500 \times 130\%\\\\\\:\implies\sf MP=Rs.\:4500 \times \dfrac{130}{100}\\\\\\:\implies\sf MP=Rs.\:45 \times 130\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\sf MP=Rs.\:5850}}$
