Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.7660

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, marked price of an double= Rs. 9575

Discount % = 12%

But it makes a profit of 10%.

Let the cost price of the article be Rs.x

Selling price after 12% discount =9575−12100×9575

=9575 - 1149 = Rs. 8426

According to the question,

(100 + 10)% of cost price =selling price after 12% discount

(100 + 10)% of x = 8426

⇒110100×x=8426

⇒x=8426×100110

=7660

Hence, cost price of an article is Rs. 7660
