Question

even after allowing 12 percent on the printed price of an article, the shopkeeper earned 10 percent profit if tha same article is sold at the printed price what would be the profit percent to the shopkeeper

Answer 1

Answer: 26.26 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let printed price = x

Discount = 12% of x

= 0.12x

Then SP

Selling price = 0.88x

At this time profit = 10% of 0.88x

= 0.088x

CP = SP - Profit

= 0.88x - 0.088x

= 0.792x

If SP = MP = x

At this time Profit = x - 0.792x

= 0.208x

% of profit = (0.208x) *100 / (0.792x)

= 208*100/792

= 26.26%
