Question

The cost price of an article should be increased by what percentage so that after giving 20 percent discount on it, 44 percent profit is obtained ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of the article = 100

The marked price of the article = x

According to question,

x×80100=100×120100

x = 150

When no discount is given,

Selling price = 150

Profit percentage = 150−100100×100 = 50%
