Question

A trader marks the price of an

article 20% above its cost. He

gives discount to his customers

and gains 8%. What is the discount

Answer 1

Solutions :-

Let the cost price of article be ₹100

Given :
Marked price = C.P + 20% of C.P
= 100 + 20% of 100
= 100 + 20 = ₹ 120

Find the Selling price of article :-

S.P = C.P + gain % of C.P
= 100 + 8% of 100
= 100 + 8
= 108

Let the Discount be x

Find the discount :-

S.P = M.P - discount
=> 108 = 120 - x
=> 108 - 120 = - x
=> - 12 = - x = 12

Find the discount percentage :-

Discount% = (discount × 100)/M.P %
= (12 × 100)/120
= 1200/120 = 10%

Hence,
Discount = Rs 12
Discount percent = 10%

find the discount

selling price = marked price - discount

108 = 120 - x

108 - 120 = -x

minus cancelled minus

it's equal to

x = 12

find the discount %

10%

therefore discount amount 12 rupees and discount % equal to 10 % .
