Answer 2

Answer:

30% of profit earned if no discount was offered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A shopkeeper sold a T.V. set for Rs. 17,940 with a discount of 8% and earned a profit of 19.6%.

To find : What would have been the percentage of profit earned if no discount was offered ?

Solution :

Let Cost price be x.

SP=Rs.17940

Then, $\frac{92}{100}x=17940$

$x=\frac{17940\times100}{92}$

$x=19500$

Then, $CP=\frac{17940\times110}{119.6}$

$CP=Rs.15000$

CP=Rs.15000 , SP=Rs.17940

Required profit% is

$P\%=\frac{4500}{15000}\times 100$

$P\%=30\%$

Therefore, 30% of profit earned if no discount was offered.
