Answer 1

Answer:

At what percentage above the cost price must an article be marked so as to gain 33% after allowing a customer a discount of 5% ? 2). A dealer allows a discount of 15% A customer pays an amount of Rs. 318.75 for an article.

Answer 2

let cp be 100

sp = 100+ 33% of 100

sp = 133

mp = (100/100- discount %) * sp

mp = (100/95)*133

mp = 140

% increase =[ (140-100)/100 ]* 100

% increase = 40%
