Question

Jasleen marks her goods at 30% above the cost price and allows a discount of 25percent.
on the marked price. Find her gain or loss
per cent.


​

Answer 1

Let CP of goods be Rs.100

marked Price = 100 + (30% of 100) = Rs.130

Discount % = 25%

Discount = 25% of 130 = Rs.32.50

SP = Rs.(130- 32.5)

= Rs.97.50

⇒ CP > SP

Loss = (CP-SP) = Rs.(100 - 97.50) = Rs.2.50

$Loss\ percent = \frac{Loss}{CP}\times 100 \\\\\\\frac{2.50}{100}\times 100\\\\2.5\ percent$
