Question

A trader gains 25% by selling an an article at a discount of 35%on its marked price .if the cost price of the article increase by 28%.What discount percent should he now give on the same marked price to get same profit percentage as before​

Answer 1

Answer:

if seller wants to gain 360rs which is 20% of the price that he bought the item or batch.

20% → 360

100% → ?

so actual cost of the item =360×10020

=1800

cost of the item to gain 20% = 1800+360 = 2160

Marked Price is the price you see on the Tag. so when the seller gives 25% discount on MP, after discount it should be 2160, which is 75% of MP

75% of MP = 2160

34 MP = 2160

MP = 2160 ×43

MP = RS 2880
