Question

Jack sold his mobile at 10% discount on marked price he about the mobile phone rupees 900 and wants to get 10% profit what should be the Marked price​

Answer 1

Let CP = Rs 100

MP = x%

Discount 10% of MP = 0.10x

SP =Rs 126

Profit = Rs 26

Facts :

MP is always markedup on CP

MP - Disc = SP

(Discount always calculated on MP)

SP - CP = Profit

Now, 126 =x-0.10x

=>x=1260/9 = Rs 140

=> Markup = 40% of CP

Actual MP of article = Rs 280

=> Actual CP =280/140 x 100 = Rs 200
