Question

Even after allowing 12% discount on the printed price of an article, the shopkeeper earned 10% profit.If the same article is sold at the printed price, what would be the profit % to the shopkeeper?

Answer 1

45:56


Description for Correct answer:
Let the CP of book = Rs.x 

Then, SP of book = (100+12)×x100=112x100(100+12)×x100=112x100 

Now. the printed price = Rs.y 

Then, after discount, the SP 

= (100−10)×y100=90y100(100−10)×y100=90y100 

Since, both SP are same. 

Then, 112x100=90y100=xy=4556112x100=90y100=xy=4556 

= 45 : 56
