Question

at what price did the shopkeeper by an article if we get 8% profit even after giving 10% discount on the printed price of 15000

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs12,500

Step-by-step explanation:

MRP=Rs15,000

Discount=10%

SP=15000-(10/100*15000)=Rs13,500

Profit=8%

Let CP be x

8x/100 +x=13,500

108x/100=13,500

x=(13,500*100)/108

x=12,500

Therefore, the shopkeeper bought the article at Rs12,500

Answer 2

10/100× 15000 = 1500

Sp = 15000-1500 =13500

1088x/100 =13500

x= 1350000/108

x= 12500
