The cost price of a printer is Rs 3400 which is 15% below the marked price.If the article is sold at a discount of 10%.Find: (1) M.P. (2) S P. (3) Profit (4) Profit % ?​

Answer 1

$\huge\bold\purple{\underline{Solution:}}$

$\bold\green{\underline{Given:}}$

The cost price of printer=Rs.3400

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

$\bold\red{\underline{To\:Find:}}$

• Mark price
• Selling price
• Profit
• profit%

$\bold\green{\underline{Let:}}$

• The mark price be X

$\bold\purple{\underline{A.T.Q:}}$

⟹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

$\large{\boxed{\red{\rm{Mark\:price:Rs.4000}}}}$

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

• Using formula here

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

⟹Selling price=100-10/100×4000

⟹Selling price=90/100×4000

⟹Selling price=3600

$\large{\boxed{\red{\rm{Selling\:price:Rs.3600}}}}$

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%

$\large{\underline{\red{\rm{AnswEr:}}}}$

$\bold\green{\underline{Mark\:price=Rs.4000}}$

$\bold\red{\underline{Selling\:price=Rs.3600}}$

$\bold\purple{\underline{Profit=Rs.200}}$

$\bold\orange{\underline{Profit\%=5.8\%}}$

Answer 2

Solution :-

Given :-

→ CP = Rs.3400

→ Marked - Price = MP = 15% above CP .

→ Discount = 10% .

it is given That, CP is 15% below the MP & value of CP is Rs.3400 ..

So, we can say That,

→ (100 - 15%) of MP = CP

→ 85% of MP = 3400

→ MP = (3400 * 100) / 85

→ MP = Rs.4000 [ Ans. (1) ]

_________________

Now, we have,

→ MP = 4000

→ D % = 10%

→ SP = MP * (100 - D%)/ 100

→ SP = (4000 * 90) / 100

→ SP = Rs.3600 [ Ans. (2) ]

_________________

Now, we have ,

→ SP = Rs.3600

→ CP = Rs.3400

→ Profit = SP - CP

→ Profit = 3600 - 3400

→ Profit = Rs.200 [ Ans. (3) ]

_________________

Now, we have,

→ Profit = Rs.200

→ CP = Rs.3400 .

→ Profit % = (Profit in Rs.) * 100 / CP

→ Profit % = (200 * 100) / 3400

→ Profit % = (100/17) % ≈ 5.88 % [ Ans. (4) ]
