Question

a washing machine was marked 40% above its cost price and a discount of 25% was given on it . find the gain or loss percent to the trader
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the cost price of the washing machine = x rs.

market price of the washing machine = 40% above the cost price of the washing machine

= x + [ x × 40/100 ]

= x + 40x/100

= 140x/100

= 7x/5 rs.

Now , selling price of the washing machine = 35 % less the selling price of the washing machine.

= 7x/5 - [ 7x/5 × 35/100 ]

= 7x/5 - 49x/100

= (140x - 49x)/100

= 91x/100 rs

so, cost price = x

selling price = 91x/100

Here selling price is less than cost price so, the shopkeeper got loss

loss percentage =

= [CP - SP]/CP × 100

= [x - 91x/100]/x × 100

= [9x/100] /x × 100

= 9/100 × 100

= 9% answer
