Question

A trader altered this trade discount from 20% to
25%. By what percentage should the selling price be
altered so that the amount available to the trader
remain unaltered ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

increase price by 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

if he increase discount by 5%

for unaltered price he have to increase selling price by 5%

fir eg.

if selling price is 100

and discount is 20% = Rs 20

100 -20 = 80

discounted price is Rs 80

if he increase discount by 5 is 25% = Rs 25

he have to increase his price bu 5%

which is (100×5÷100 = 5)

then, 100 +5 = 105

105-25 = 80
