Question

a trader marks his goods at 35% above the cost price and all always allows a discount of 20% on the Marked price find his gain or loss percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

let, the cp=100

mp=100+35%of 100

=100+35/100×100

=135

discount =20%of135

=27

sp = mp+ discount

=135+27

=162

gain =162 - 100 =62

gain % =(62/100×100)%

=62%

Answer 2

Answer:

His gain percentage is 62%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the cost price of goods = Rs 100

marked price = 100+ (35% of 100 )

= 100+ (35/100 * 100 )

= 135  

According to the question all always allows a discount of 20% on the Marked price  discount  = 20% of 135  = 27

we know that, selling price = marked price + discount

So, sp = mp + discount

= 135+27  

= 162  

Selling price is Rs 162

Total gain = selling price - cost price

Total gain = 162 - 100 = 62

gain percentage = (62/100 * 100)%

= 62 %
