Question

a vendor marks goods 45% above the CP and allows a discount of 40% during the sale. Find the profit percentage of the vendor​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P. = 100 Rs

M.P. = C.P + C.P×45/100

= 100+100×45/100

=145 Rs

D%=40%

D= 145x40/100

=58Rs

S.P= M.P. - D

145 - 58

87 Rs

S.P<C.P

Then, it will be loss,

Loss=C.P-S.P

=100- 87

=13 Rs

Loss%= loss x 100/C.P.

=13 x 100/100

= 13%.

The loss percent of the vendor is 13%.

Here Will be loss in this question not profit.

I hope it will helpful for u all.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the CP be ₹100

MP = 100 + 45

= 145

Value after discount

SP = 145-145×40/100

= 145-29×2

= 145-58

= 87

Hence, Loss = CP - SP [because cp is bigger than sp CP>SP]

= 100 - 87

= 13%

Here, Will be loss in the question
