Question

the marked price of an article is 80% above it's sp and the cp is 35% less then it's mp . find the discount percent and gain percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

GAIN% =  [(45%-2x)/(35%+x)]*100%

DISCOUNT%  =  [(2x-80%)/x]*100%            

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE MP BE x

SO,

CP = (35%+x)

SP = (80%-x)

SO,

GAIN = SP - CP

         = (80%-x) - (35%+x)

         = 80%-x-35%-x

         = (45%-2x)

SO,

GAIN% = (GAIN/CP)*100%

            = [(45%-2x)/(35%+x)]*100%

           

DISCOUNT = MP - SP

                   = x - (80% - x)

                   = x-80%+x

                   = (2x-80%)

DISCOUNT% = (DISCOUNT/MP)*100%

                      = [(2x-80%)/x]*100%
