Question

how much more is the value after allowing 10percent discount on rs4000 than rs3050​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x be the cost price.

Then the sold price = x * 120/100 = 1.2x

Marked price = ₹4000

Sold price after discount = 4000 * 90/100 = ₹3600

Now, 1.2x = 3600

Hence x = 3600/1.2 =₹ 3000

Now, if profit is to be 12%, then selling price = 3000 * 112/100 = ₹3360

Hence discount to be offered = 4000 - 3360 = ₹640

Discount percentage = 640/4000 * 100 = 16
