Question

On selling an article at 12%discount ,Amar stills makes a 20% profit .what will be profit is he does not give the discount?

Answer 1

Let marked price of the article = Rs 100

After discount of 12% is provided on that article,

Selling price = 100 - [$\frac{12}{100}\times (100)=12$]

                      = Rs 88

Profit made by Amar on Selling price= 20 %

Let cost price of the article = Rs x

$x +\frac{20 x}{100}= 88 \\\\ \frac{120 x}{100}=88 \\\\ \frac{6 x}{5}=88\\\\ x= \frac{440}{6}=73.34$Rs

Cost Price of the article = Rs 73.34

So, profit made by Amar when discount is not Provided = 100 - 73.34=   Rs 26.66
