Question

a trader marks his goods at 40% above the cost price and allows a discount of 25% what is his gain percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

let CP = 100

then MP = 140 ( 40% above the cost price is given)

Discount = 25 % of 140 = 35

then SP = 140 - 35 = 105

profit = 100 - 105 = 5

profit % = (profit/CP) × 100

(5/100)× 100 = 5 ans

Answer 2

let, the cost price =100

then, the marked price =100+40% of 100

=100+40/100×100

=140

discount=25%of mp

= 25/100×140

=35rupees

sp=mp-discount

=140- 35

=105

gain=sp-cp

=105-100

=5

gain %=gain/cp×100

= 5/100×100

=5%
