Question

a shopkeeper purchases a watch for ₹380 at what least price should the shopkeeper sell the article so that even after giving a discount of 5℅ he gains a profit of 25%​

Answer 1

List price is

$380$

Add profit

$25\%$

$\frac{25}{100} \times 380$

$= 95$

Now , add this profit to the list price

$= 380 + 95$

$= 475$

Now , Less the allowed discount on this rate

$\frac{5}{100} \times 475$

$= 23.75$

Less the discount from the price

$475 - 23.75$

$= 451.25 \: is \: your \: answer.....$
