Question

Sona brought a car at some discount . If he sold it to hyer at 20% discount on market price, but still managed to make 25% profit, at what discount had Sona brought the car?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price be Rs. 100.

The trader buys at discount of 20%.

Hence, his cost price =100−20% of 100 = Rs. 80.

He wants to make profit 25%, hence his selling price is =80+25% of 80 = Rs. 100.

However, he wants to get this Rs. 100 after allowing a discount of 20%, i.e. he will sell at 80% of his marked price.

Hence, his marked price =

0.8

100

= Rs. 125 which is 25% more than the original marked price.

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the original price be 100

His purchase price 80

His selling price 80 * 140/ 100 = 112

This gives 12 percent profit on the original price
