Question

Sarita gives a discount of 15% on the sarees sold by her and still gets a profit of 14%. What is the cost price of a saree whose marked price is 3200 ruppees?

Answer 1

Solutions :-

Given :
Marked price of Saree = Rs 3200
Discount = 15%
Profit = 14%

Find the Selling price of Saree :-

S.P = M.P - discount % of M.P
= 3200 - 15% of 3200
= 3200 - 0.15 × 3200
= 3200 - 480
= 2720

Find the cost price of Saree at 14% profit :-

C.P = (S.P × 100)/(100 + Profit)
= (2720 × 100)/(100 + 14)
= 272000/114
= 2385.96 (approx.)

Hence,
Cost Price of Saree = Rs 2385.96

Given that ;-
• Saree's Marked Price = ₹3,200
• Discount on it = 15%
• Profit on it = 14%

___________________________

Now ,
Finding the Selling Price ( SP ) of the Saree :-

We know that ;-
• SP = MP - Discount % of MP

Then ,

$= > 3200 - 15\% \: of \: 3200$

$= > 3200 - \frac{15}{100} \times 3200$

$= > 3200 - 480 = 2720$

Now ,
Finding the Cost Price ( CP ) of the Saree at the profit of 14% ;-

We know that ;-

$cost \: price = \frac{selling \: price \times 100}{100 + \: profit\%}$

Then ,

$= > ( \frac{2700 \times 100}{100 + 14} )$

$= > \frac{272000}{114}$

$= > 2385.96 \: ( \: approx \: )$

Therefore ,
• The Cost price of Saree is ₹2,385.96
