Question

A shopkeeper gives a discount at 10% for cash payments. At what price is an article marked if its cash price is 13.50​

Answer 1

Answer:130

Step-by-step explanation:30%

Here’s how…

Cost Price = 100

Profit intended = 17%

So, Selling Price = 117

But this 117 is after 10% discount on marked price.

So, Marked Price * 0.9 = 117

i.e Marked Price = 117/0.9 which is equal to 130.

Answer 2

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to know the meaning of  the word discount which is simply subtract .

So the first statement is just trying to say for cash payments only subtract 10% of the total amount.

Therefore the second statement then says "at what price was the article marked''  meaning to say they have already subtracted the 10%  from the actual amount and what remains is 90% if 10% is removed.

So the question is saying find the deducted amount and add it to the cash price given which is 13.50 to make a total of 100% after adding.

We can use simple proportionality to solve the question ie

if     90% = 13.50    what about 100% ?

"100% will have a greater amount "

.'.     (  100 ÷ 90 ) × 13.50 = 15.00
