Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data,

It is given that,

The shopkeeper mark up the price of lamp by 10%

So, let us assume that C.P. of the lamp is 100x

As the markup was done by 10%

So, MRP of the lamp will be 100x + \frac{10}{100} \times 100x = 110x

As we know,

The mark discount are given on the mark up price.

It is also given that, after giving a discount the sellers suffers a loss of 1%

So, selling price of the lamp will be 100x -\frac{1}{100}\times 100x = 99x

As we know that,

We have formula for finding the SP in term of discount and MP

SP = \frac{100 - \%d}{100}\times MP

So, putting the value we will get,

99x = \frac{100 -\%d}{100}\times 110x\\= > 9=\frac{100 -\%d}{100}\times 10\\= > 9=\frac{100-\%d}{10}\\= > 100-\%d =90\\= > \%d = 100\%-90\% = 10%

Hence, value of the discount offered will be 10%

Answer:

The value of the discount offered will be 10%.
