Question

A shopkeeper fast increase the price of an article by 25% and then by 20% what is the total percent

Answer 1

Let us take the real price of the article as ₹100

When the shopkeeper increases the price of the article by 25% , the cost of the article becomes:

$\frac{25}{100} \times 100$

$= 25$

So the price of the article becomes ₹125.

Again when he increases the cost by 20% ,

20% of ₹125 is :

$\frac{20}{100} \times 125$

= ₹25

This says that finally he sets the price of the article as ₹ 125 + ₹ 25 = ₹ 150.

The actual cost was ₹ 100 as we took in the beginning.

Now he increased totally ₹50.

So the total percent becomes :

$\frac{50}{100} \times 100$

= 50 %
