Question

After allowing 10% off on the marked price, a shopkeeper still gets a profit of 25%. If the cost price of an article is rupees 180, then find its marked price. ​

Answer 1

The marked price of article is Rs 256

Step-by-step explanation:

After allowing 10% off on the marked price, a shopkeeper still gets a profit of 25%

Let market price be Rs x

After allowing 10% off on the marked price

Selling price = x - 10% of x

Selling price = 0.90x

Profit % = 25%

Cost price = 180

Profit = SP - CP

Profit = 0.90x - 180

$25\%=\dfrac{0.90x-180}{180}\times 100$

$0.25\times 180=0.90x-180$

$0.90x=230.4$

$x=256$
