Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given :-

dealer buys an article marked at = Rs. 25000

two successive discounts of first 20% and then 5%.

He spends Rs. 1000 for its repair .

S.P. of articles = Rs. 25000

Find :-

Gain or loss in percentage .

Explanation:-

First Calculate C.P. of this articles,

Case 1.

20% & 5% successive discount of in articles

so,

==> C.P. of articles = (80% × 95% × 25,000) + 1000

==> C.P. of articles = ( 80/100 × 95/100 × 25,000) + 1000

==> C.P. of articles = ( 8 × 95 × 25 ) + 1000

==> C.P. of articles = 8 × 2375 + 1000

==> C.P. of articles = 19,000 + 1000

==> C.P. of articles = 20,000

Here, S.P. is more than C.P.

Here, S.P. is more than C.P.since, Dealer got profit in this article

Now, Calculate Profit

$\dag\boxed{\underline{\tt{\blue{\: Profit\:=\:S.P.\:-\:C.P.}}}}$

==> Profit = 25,000 - 20,000

==> Profit = 5,000

Now, Calculate %profit

$\dag\boxed{\underline{\tt{\orange{\:\% profit\:=\:\dfrac{profit\times 100}{C.P.}}}}} </p><p>$

==> %profit = 5000 × 100/20,000

==> % profit = 50/2

==> %profit = 25%

Hence

%profit will be of an article = 25%

Answer 2

Answer:

25000 with a discount of 20% is 25000−20100×25000=20000. ... 20000 with a discount of 5% is 20000−5100×20000=19000. Then, he had to spend Rs. 1000 for its repairs and amends.
