Question

an article marked Rs 4800 was sold at a discount of 20% if he CP of the article was Rs 3200 find profit or loss percent

Answer 1

selling price = marked price - discount

selling price = 4800 - 20% of 4800

selling price = 4800 - 20 × 4800 / 100

selling price = 4800 - 960

selling price = 3840 rs

now ,

cost price = 3200 rs

so , profit = 3840 - 3200

profit = 640


3200 rs c.p. ------- 640 rs profit

100 rs c.p. -------- ?? profit


profit percentage = 640 × 100 / 3200


profit percentage = 20 %

selling price = 4800 - 20% of 4800

selling price = 4800 - 20 × 4800 / 100

selling price = 4800 - 960

selling price = 3840 rs

now ,

cost price = 3200 rs

so , profit = 3840 - 3200

profit = 640

3200 rs c.p. ------- 640 rs profit

100 rs c.p. -------- ?? profit

profit percentage = 640 × 100 / 3200
