Question

By selling an article for rs.1080 a man gives 10% discount and earn 20% profit if the article is sold at 18% discountbthen find his new profit

Answer 1

Answer:

profit is 84

Explanation:

SP = 1080

CP= S.P ×100/{100+profit%}

= 1080×100/120

=900

Next

SP = MP- discount

Mp= SP×100/{100-discount%}

1080×100/90

= 1200

so new discount is 18%

Sp = MP - discount

1200 -1200×8%

= 984

profit is SP - cP

= 984-900=84

profit % = profit/CP × 100

84/900× 100

= 9.33%
