Answer 1

Hey Mate,

Real Price of article = Rs. 400

Market Price = 80% more than actual Price.

Selling Price = 15% discount on Market Price.

Answer 1 :

Market Price of Article = 400 + (400 × 80/ 100 )

= > 400 + 320

= > Rs 720.

Market Price of the article is Rs. 720.

Answer 2 :

15% Discount on Market Price = 720 × 15 / 100

= > 10800/ 100

= > Rs. 108

Discount on market is Rs. 108 .

Answer 3 :

Shopkeeper buy an article for Rs. 400

and Sale it at ( 720 - 108 ) = Rs. 612.

Difference = Rs. ( 612 - 400 ) = 212.

P% = ( 212/ 400 ) × 100

P% = 53 %

The actual profit % earn by shopkeeper is 53% .
