A shopkeeper offers 35% discount on shirt Wich have been marked 60% above the cost price. Ajay bought the shirt for RS 728.what was the cost
price of the shirt?​

Answer 1

Let the cost price be Rs.728

then the mark up price which is 60% above the cost price,

Mark price = (100 + 60% of 100) = Rs. 160

Shopkeeper gives a discount of 35% on mark up price, then the

Selling Price = (130 - 35% of 130) = Rs. 84.5

Gain = 160-84.5= Rs.75.5
