Question

ACar,
dealer allows a discount of 15% on the list
of the car and still gains 20% if
gains Rs. 17,000 over the sale of one
find the list price of the car ?​

Answer 1

So, the list price of the car is 102000

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the cost price is 100 rupees,

List of the car = ?

If he gain 20%,

20% = 17000 rs

100% = $\frac{17000}{20}\times 100$

100% = 85000

So, the cost price is 85000 rs

Selling price of the car = 85000 + 17000

= 86700 rs.

15 % discount of list price, then

85% = 86700

100% = $\frac{86700}{85}\times 100$

100% = 102000

So, the list price is 102000

Answer 2

Suppose the cost price is 100 rupees,

List of the car = ?

If he gain 20%,

20% = 17000 rs

100% = \frac{17000}{20}\times 100

20

17000

×100

100% = 85000

So, the cost price is 85000 rs

Selling price of the car = 85000 + 17000

= 86700 rs.

15 % discount of list price, then

85% = 86700

100% = \frac{86700}{85}\times 100

85

86700

×100

100% = 102000

So, the list price is 102000
