how much percent above the cost price should A shopkeeper marks his goods so that after allowing a discount of 20% on the Marked price he gains 12%

initial amount percentage = 100%
discount = 20%
profit = x %
profit after discount = 12%
so, total profit = 112%

112% = 100% -20% + x%
112% = 80% + x%
x% = 112% - 80%
x% = 32%

MayuriPriya: hmm thanx..
sibhiamar: so, 25% if 112% profit = 1.12×25 = 28 so total profit = 28+12 = 40
