Question

after allowing a discount of 16% there was still a gain of 5% at what percent above the cost price was the market price??​

Answer 1

Discount(r) = 16% and Gain(R) = 5%.

Required % = [(r + R)/(100 - r)] * 100%

=> [(16 + 5)/(100 - 16)] * 100

=> [(21/84)] * 100

=> 2100/84

=> 25%

Answer:

marked price 100

s.p 100×84/100=84

after discount he still 5% profit,

c.p 100×84/105= 80

difference between mark price and cost price 100-80=20

required parcentage 100×20/80= 25% ( answer)
