Answer 1

Answer:

A shopkeeper sold an article for Rs.6750 after giving a discount of 10% on the labelled price. He would have earned a profit of 50% had there been no discount. What was the actual percentage of profit earned?

ANSWER

S.P. = Rs.6750

Discount = 10%

∴ M.P. = Rs.=(

90

6750×100

)=Rs.7500

If there was no discount, S.P. = Rs.7500 and Profit % = 50%

∴ C.P. = Rs.=(

150

7500×100

)=Rs.5000

∴ Actual profit = Rs.6750 - Rs.5000 = Rs.1750

Actual profit % =

6750

1750

×100=35%
