Question

if a person marks the face value of his article 40% more than the purchase price, if he gives a discount of 20% on the marked price, what will be
the profit percentage?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to given problem,

Let c.p be100

M.p=140

Let number of goods sold be x

C.p of x goods=100x

S.p of 30% of the goods=30x/100)140=42x

S.p of 60% of the remaining goods=(x-3x/10)(60/100)112

=7x/10)(60/100)112=1176x/25

S.p of remaining goods=(x-3x/10–21x/50)84

=14x/50)84=588x/25

Total s.p=42x+1176x/25+588x/25

=1050x+1176x+588x)/25=2814x/25

Profit=2814x/25-100x=314x/25

P%=(314x/25)/(100x)100=12.56%
