Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An article is marked 40% above the cost price and a discount of 35% is allowed. What is the gain or loss percentage?

Suppose actual cost of x was 100

As per your querry marked 40% above the CP

New Cost Price is 100+(40%of 100) =140

Now giving discount at 35%

Now cost comes 140-(35%of 140)

$140 - \frac{35}{100} \times 140 \\ 140 - 49 = 91$

Actual cost was 100

After 40% addition and 35% discount it comes to ₹91

Actual discount is 2% only
