Question

Nisha saw a jeans marked at rupees 625 and got free Belt costing rupees 25. the shopkeeper made a profit of 20% on this transaction. how much had the shopkeeper paid for the jeans

Answer 1

the shopkeeper gave rs.520 for the jeans.
marked price of jeans is 625 , belt price is 25 so their addition gives us 650 and profit is 20%.
650*20/100 gives us 130
650-130=520

Answer 2

20% of 625

Then,

$\frac{20}{100} \times 625$

$125$

• 625-125 = 500

:• Hence, shopkeeper said ₹500 for the jeans
