Question

after allowing 10% of the Marked price shopkeeper will get a profit of 25% if the cost price of an article is rupees 180 then find its marked price

Answer 1

Given that : Cost Price = Rs. 180 and

Profit% = 25%

Then, Selling Price :

$180 \times \frac{(100 + 25)}{100} \\ \\ = > 180 \times \frac{125}{100} \\ \\ = > 225$

So, the Selling Price = Rs. 225

Also given that : Discount% = 10%

According to the question :

$Market \: price \: = 225 \times \frac{100}{(100 - 10)} \\ \\ = > M.P. = 225 \times \frac{100}{90} \\ \\ = > M.P. = 250$

So, the Market Price will be Rs. 250
