Question

Cost price of an article is Rs. 25,000. What should be the marked price in order to earn 15% profit after allowing 5% discount?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Cost price of an articles i.e. CP = Rs 25,000

Profit made on selling = 15%

Discount = 5% of Cost Price

Solution: Discount Rs = Discount% of Cost price

                                    = 5/100 X Rs 25,000

                                    = Rs 1250

Profit earned Rs  = Profit % of 25000

                            = 15/100 X 25000

                            = Rs 3750

Cost price with profit earned price = Rs 25000 + Rs 3750 = Rs 28750

Marked price = Cost price with profit earned Rs - Discount Rs

                      = Rs 28750 - Rs 1250

                      = Rs 27500
