Question

cost price of a jeans is 32.5% more than cost price of shirt and cost price of jeans is increased by 30% and it is sold at rs 4134 at profit of 25% if shirt marked up 15% above cost price then find marked price?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the price of shirt and trouser be Rs. 100 and Rs. 200 respectively.

Then, price of set of shirt and trouser = Rs. 300.

After giving 30% discount on the set,

Selling Price = 300 - 30% of 300 = 210.

Total Discount on Set = 90.

And Discount on shirt is 20% alone,

SP of shirt alone = 100 - 40% of 100 = 60.

Rs. 40 is the discount on shirt then Rs. 50 must be the discount on the trouser.

So, discount on trouser = $$\frac{{50 \times 100}}{{200}}$$ = 25%.
