Question

solve the problem :- If selling price =Rs 1500, Discount is 25% then find the market price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price = Rs. 1500

Mark up percent = 25%

Discount percentage = 10%

Formula used:

Profit percentage = {(SP - CP)/CP} × 100

where,

CP = Cost price

SP = Selling price

Calculation:

Let the CP be 100x.

MP = 100x + 100x × 25%

⇒ 1500 = 125x

⇒ x = 12

CP = 100x = Rs. 1200

SP = 1500 - 1500 × 10%

⇒ SP = 1500 - 150

⇒ SP = Rs. 1350

Profit percentage = {(SP - CP)/CP} × 100

⇒ {(1350 - 1200)/1200} × 100

⇒ {(150)/1200} × 100

⇒  

∴ The profit percentage is 12.5%.
