Answer 1

Answer:

163.2857142857143

Approx 163%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets consider the original value as x and markup price as y

there fore 30% discount means 70y/100

15% of profit means 115x/100

70y=115x

x/y=70/115=14/23

x=14, y=23

if we consider original price 1400 then cost price would be 2300

and percentage would be 163

Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage of makeup price more than cost price is equal to 64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the cost price of scooter $=100$

Discount = 30% and profit = 15%

We know, Selling price- cost price = profit

Then, Selling price $=100+15=115$

Makeup price - discount = selling price(115)                      .............(1)

Makeup price - 30% = 70%                                                 ..............(2)

Discount $= \frac{115*30}{70}=49$

Makeup price $=115+49=164$

Makeup ( % of cost) = Makeup price- cost price

                           $=164-100=64$

The percentage of makeup price over cost price$=\frac{64}{100}*100$ =64%
