Question

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

Answer 1

let the initial Price be 100
marked price =130
discount =25%
therefore selling price will be
130-130*25/100
= 130-32.5
= 97.5
therefore loss =2.5
or 2.5%

Answer 2

Hello .......

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 % = Loss/CP * 100 
= 2.50/100 * 100 
=2.5%

Hopefully it will work out you
