Question

The cost price of a printer is 3400, which is 15% below the marked price. If the article is sold at a discount of 10%, find (i) the marked price, (ii) the selling price, (iii) the profit, and (iv) the profit percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

The cost price of printer=Rs.3400

The mark price of printer is more than 15% of cp

ToFind:

Mark price

Selling price

Profit

profit%

Let:

The mark price be X

⟹Cost price=less 15% of Mark price

⟹3400=100-15/100×X

⟹3400=85/100×X

⟹3400=17/20×X

⟹X=200×20

⟹X=4000

Markprice:Rs.4000

If the article is sold at a discount of 10% so,

Using formula here:

Sellingprice:Using formula here

\large{\boxed{\green{\rm{Selling\:price=\frac{100-D\%}{100}×MP}}}}

100

100−D%

×MP

⟹Selling price=100-10/100×4000

⟹Selling price=90/100×4000

⟹Selling price=3600

Sellingprice:Rs.3600

To find profit here

⟹Selling price=3600

⟹Cost price=3400

so,

⟹Profit=Sp-Cp

⟹Profit=3600-3400

⟹Profit=200

Now, find P% here

⟹P%=P×100/CP

⟹P%=200*100/3400

⟹P%=200/34=100/17=5.8%

Answer:

Markprice=Rs.4000

Sellingprice=Rs.3600

Profit=Rs.200

Profit%=5.8%
