Question

Hi Guys

Help me any maths genius plzzzzzzzzzzzz

A business marks his goods at 30% above the cost price. Then he sells them at a discount of 15%. Find his profit percent.

Plzzzzzz

Answer 1

HEY MATE HERE IS UR ANSWER

FOR THIS QUESTIONS LETS ASSUME THAT THE

GOODS PRICE = 100Rs ( COST PRICE )

NOW THE MARKET PRICE IS 30 % ABOVE THE COST PRICE

SO 30% OF 100 IS 30 RS

SO MARKET PRICE = 100 + 30 = 130 RS

NOW IN THE MARKET PRICE HE IS GIVING AN DISCOUNT OF 15%

SO THE SELLING PRICE = 100 % - 15 % OF 130

= 85 % OF 130

= 110.5 RS

HENCE THE SELLING PRICE = 110.5 RS

NOW HIS PROFIT = SELLING PRICE - COST PRICE

= 110.5 - 100 RS = 10.5 RS

SO NOW PROFIT PERCENTAGE IS


$\frac{10.5}{100} \times 100$


= 10.5 % PROFIT

THEREFORE THERE WOULD BE A PROFIT OF 10.5 %

HOPE IT'S HELPFUL IF YES PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST IIIIIII

$<b>Let CP = x$

$mp = x \frac{30 \times x}{10} \\ \\ = x + \frac{3x}{10} \\ \\ = \frac{10x + 3x}{10} \\ \\ therefore \: mp = \frac{13x}{10} \\ \\ sp = mp \times \frac{100 - d}{100} \\ \\ = \frac{13x}{10} \times \frac{(1000 - 15)}{100} \\ \\ = \frac{13x}{10} \times \frac{17}{20} \\ \\ sp = \frac{221x}{200} \\ \\ profit = sp - cp \\ \\ = \frac{221x}{200} - \frac{x}{1} \\ \\ = \frac{221x - 200x}{200} \\ \\ therefore \: profit = \frac{221x - 200x}{200} \\ \\ profit \: \% = \frac{profit \times 100}{cp} \\ \\ = \frac{20x \times 100}{200 \times x} \\ \\ = \frac{21}{2} \\ \\ = 10.5 \: \%$
