Question

Komal buys an article at a discount of 25%. At what percentage above the cost price should he sell it to make a profit of 25% over the original list price? a. 25 b. 30 c. 40 d.

Answer 1

Answer:66.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original list price = Rs. 100, Then C.P. = Rs. 75 Desired S.P. = Rs. 125

∴∴ Required percentage =

(50/75×100)%= 66.67%

Answer 2

Answer:

The article should be sold 66.67% above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price of the article,

After getting 25% discount,

New cost price of the article = x - 25% of x

$=x-\frac{25\times x}{100}$

$=x -\frac{x}{4}$

$=\frac{4x-x}{4}$

$=\frac{3x}{4}$

= 0.75x

If profit % = 25%,

Then the selling price = x + 25% of x

= x + 0.25x

= 1.25x

$\because \frac{1.25x -0.75x}{0.75x}\times 100$

$=\frac{0.50}{0.75}\times 100$

$=\frac{5000}{75}$

= 66.67%

Hence, the article should be sold 66.67%.
