Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

She had a loss of 2.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Marked price of goods be ₹100

When increased by 30%, it becomes

= 100 * (130/100)

= ₹130

When the increased price is decreased/ given discount by 25%, it becomes

= 130* (75/100)

= ₹97.5

As, net CP> net SP,

Then, Loss% = Loss*100 /CP

= 2.5*100/ 100

= 2.5%

Therefore, she have a loss of 2.5%
