A shopkeeper marks up price of an article ‘2X’% above its cost price and difference

difference between marked price and selling price is Rs. 312 , find the overall profit of
shopkeeper on selling the article?​

Answer 1

Answer:

168.

Step-by-step explanation:

MP-CP= 480.  therefore :- MP= 480+CP

MP- SP= 312. therefore:- MP = 312+SP

NOW: 480+CP = 312+SP

profit, SP-CP= 480-312= 168
