Question

retailer marks the price of a shirt at 16% more than the cost price.He then gave a discount of 12% on the marked price.Find the loss% and gain%. everyone report her answer she is in my following please ​support me she is insulting me​

Answer 1

A retailer allowed 12% discount and sold a t-shirt at a loss of Rs. 16. If he had sold it at 10% discount, he would have gained Rs. 20. For what price did he purchase the T-shirt?

Let p be his normal selling price and c be his purchase cost. From the above:

.88 × p = c - 16 and .9 × p = c + 20

Multiply first equation by 0.9 and the second by 0.88 giving

.792p = 0.9c - 14.4 and 0.792p = 0.88c + 17.6

So 0.9c - 14.4 = 0.88c + 17.6

Therefore 0.02c = 32

Therefore the purchase cost of the t-shirt is Rs1600

The usual selling price is

p = (0.9×1600 -14.4)/.792 = Rs1800

Checking:

1800 × .88 = 1584 (=c - 16)

1800 × .9 = 1620 (=c + 20)
