Q1- Vishaka offers discount of 20% at all items at her shop and still makes a profit of 12%. What is cost prize of an article maked at rs.280. cost of 15 article is equal to selling price of 12 article​

Answer 1

Answer:

marked price= Rs 280

Discount= 20 percent

profit = 12 percent

finding selling price:-

S.P = M.P - discount% of M.P

= 280 - 20% of 280

= 280 - 56

= 224

finding the cost price :-

C.P =( S.P × 100) / (100+ profit)

=

(224 × 100) / ( 100+ 12)

22400 / 112

= 200

hence cost price is 200 Rs
