Question

An article is marked at ₹ 800. If it is sold for ₹ 600, then find the discount per cent.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount of 10% on marked price=800*10%=80

Selling price=800-80=720

The dealer makes a profit of 20% means is selling the article at 120%.

120%=720

1%=6

Hence, 100%=600

Thus, the cost price of article= 600

If no discount allowed,

Selling price will become 800

Profit= SP-CP= 800-600=200

Profit percent=(200/600)*100=33.33%

Therefore, the profit percent when no discount allowed=33.33%
