Question

if 30 shirts were bought for Rs 9000 and out of those 10 shirts were sold for Rs 3500 then find the profit or loss percent in the whole transaction

Answer 1

Hlw mate!!


Let the marked price of the article be x.

First a 20% discount was offered, on which another 25% discount was offered.

So, 75% of 80% of x = 3600

75/100 * 80/100 * x = 3600 → x = 6000.

So the article was marked at Rs. 6000.

Cost price of the article = [100/(100+80)]*3600 = Rs. 2000.

It is important to note here that this DOES NOT equal to a 45% discount on the whole. When different discounts are applied successively, they CANNOT be added.

Hope it helpful
