Question

A shopkeeper offers his customers 10% discount and still makes a profit of 26%. What is the actual cost (CP) that costed him of an article marked at Rs.280?

Answer 1

MRP of article =280

discount =10% of 280 =280*10/100
=28
SP = 280-28 =252

profit = 26%

let CP =x

CP+ PROFIT =SP
X+ X*26/100 =252
100X+26X =252*100
126X = 25200

X. =25200/126

X= 200

THUS CP = 200
