Question

A trader gives an additional concession of 35% on an article which is already discounted by 20% on the marked price. If the buyer pays an amount of RS 1300

Answer 1

Answer:

Cp=2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Cp=100

20%dis on 100=100-20=80

Again

35%concession

35%of80=28

80-28=52

52=1300(given)

1=25

Cp=2500

Answer 2

The marked price is Rs. 1805.55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount paid by buyer = Rs. 1300

Let the marked price be 'x'.

So, Rate of discount = 20%

So, Amount of discount would be

$\dfrac{20}{100}x\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}x\\\\=\dfrac{x}{5}$

So, Price after discount becomes,

$x-\dfrac{x}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{5-1}{5}x\\\\=\dfrac{4x}{5}$

So, Rate of concession = 35%

So, it becomes

$\dfrac{35}{100}\times \dfrac{4x}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{28x}{100}$

Price after concession becomes ,

$x-\dfrac{28x}{100}\\\\=\dfrac{100-28}{100}x\\\\=\dfrac{72}{100}x\\\\=\dfrac{18}{25}x$

According to question, it becomes,

$\dfrac{18x}{25}=1300\\\\x=\dfrac{1300\times 25}{18}\\\\x=Rs.\ 1805.55$

Hence, the marked price is Rs. 1805.55.
