Question

a wholeseller allows a discount of 20% on the list price to a retailer . the retailer sells at 5% discount on the list price . if customer pays rs 38 on article ,profit is made by the retailer?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

S.P of retailer = x - 5x/100

= (100x - 5x) /100

S.P = 95x/100

19x / 20 = ₹ 38

x =( 38 × 20 ) / 19

x = 2× 20 = 40

The C.P of the retailer = 4x/5

=( 4×40) /5

= 4× 8 = 32

C.P of the retailer = ₹ 32

Retailer sold it = ₹ 38

Retailer earned a profit = S.P - C.P

= (38-32) = ₹ 6

Hence, the Retailer earned a profit =₹ 6
