Question

by selling an article for Rs. 448 , a man gains 12 per cent . find the loss per cent if he allows a discount of Rs. 88

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the CP be x.

gain=12%

SP=448

448=x(1+12/100)

448=112/100 x

x=448*100 / 112=400

CP=400

if discount=88 rs.

then SP=400-88=312

loss %=88/400*100=22%
