Question

Ratio between marked price of article A to article B is 4:5. Shopkeeper allowed d% discounton article 'A' and (d + 18) % discount on article 'B', so selling price of both articles become equal. Ifshopkeeper made a profit of 20% on article A and 25% on article B and profit made on article B isRs. 384 more than that of article A, then find the cost price of article 'A' and article 'B' respectively?noneMADUS​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Cost Price be Rs 100Marked up Price= Rs 125(100/4*5)Then the marking up price which is Rs 25 equal to profit plus discount which are 5:3Then profit will be Rs 15.625(25.00/8*5)Then discount will be Rs 9.375(25.00/8*3)Therefore discount percentage is= 9.375%(9.375/100*100).

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the mp of A is 400x and b is 500x when 10% is given on A so sp=400x×100-d/100 and d+18% discount is given on b so sp of B=500x ×(100-d-18)/100 given that sp of first and second is equal so 400x ×100-d/100 =50

0x ×(100-d-18%)/100 for solving we get d=10% so sp of A is 360x so cp of A=360x×100/120 =300x and sp of B=360x so cp of B=360x ×100/125 =288x so difference of profit= 72x-60x=12x given that 12x=384 so x=32 so cp of A=300×32=9600 and cp of B=288x=288×32=9216 ans
