Question

A shopkeeper views and article for rupees 400 and mark sheet for sale at a price that may give him 80% profit on is costly have ever give you 15% discount on the Marked price to which customer calculate the Marked price of the article the discount in Rupees given to the customer and that's ur percentage profit made by the shopkeeper

Answer 1

Given cost price= 400

The marked price = cp+80% of cp

                               = 400 + 80/100 * 400

                               = 720.

Given, discount = 15% on the marked price

                            = 15/100 * 720

                            = 108.

Selling price will be 720 - 108 = 612.

Profit % made by the shopkeeper = sp - cp/cp  * 100

                                                          = 612 - 400/400 * 100

                                                          = 53%.

Marked price is 720, discount = 108, profit = 53%.


Hope this helps!
