Answer 1

hi mate,

answer is 8%

explanation. 20 % -12% = 8%

but if question. is

A shopkeeper marks his goods 20% above of the cost price and allows a discount of 12% of them what percent does he gain

then,

He’ll gain only 2 percent

Here is a quick example

Cost price 100

Marked price 100+20%=100+20=120

Selling price after discount 120–15%=120–18=102

Gain= 2

% gain=(gain/cost)*100=2%

I hope it helps you..

Answer 2

Solution:-

LetC.P=100

⇒M.P=120

$= > discount \: \: = 15\% \: of \: m.p \: \\ = > \frac{15 \times 120}{100}$

Discount = 18

$= > s.p \: = m.p - discount \: = 120 - 18 = 102$

$= > gain \: \% \: = (gain \: is \: to \: c.p \: ) \times 100 \\ = > \frac{2}{100} \times 100 \\ = > 2\%$
