MATHS
Paste cut out of discount
offer given by a shopkeeper
on an item on A4 size sheet
and find its
discount, marked price and
sale price​

Answer 1

Answer:

marked price of each article was Rs. 100

After giving 10% on MP, SP of each article becomes Rs. 90

Then,

SP of 24 articles =20×90= Rs. 1800 ...[ 4 articles are given free of cost on buying 20. ]

Now, shopkeeper earns 25% profit on CP means,

CP+25%ofCP=SP

[CP+

100

25CP

]=SP

100

[100CP+25CP]

=1800

125CP=180000

CP=Rs.1440

CP of one article =

24

1440

=Rs.60

Now, % MP above CP =

100

60

40

=66.66%=66(2/3)%
