Answer 1

Answer:

marked price = 8000

10 % discount 800 + 1200 rs gift = 2000

s.p=8000-2000 = 6000

20% profit->120

(100/120)*6000=5000

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost price per microwave is Rs.5000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A show room offers a 10% discount on a microwave, whose marked price is Rs. 8,000, and also gives a blender worth Rs. 1,200 as a complimentary gift with it. Even then, the showroom earns a profit of 20%.

To find : The cost price per microwave ?

Solution :

Market price = Rs.8000

Discount = 10%

Complimentary gift = Rs.1200

Amount after discount is

$A=10\%\times 8000+1200$

$A=800+1200$

$A=2000$

The selling price is

$SP=8000- 1200$

$SP=6000$

The showroom earns a profit of 20%.

So, The cost price per microwave is

$CP=\frac{100}{100+P\%}\times SP$

$CP=\frac{100}{100+20}\times 6000$

$CP=\frac{100}{120}\times 6000$

$CP=5000$

Therefore, The cost price per microwave is Rs.5000.
