Question

The marked price of an article is Rs 4000 and 10 percent discount is given to make 20% profit but what percent is the discount to be increased to get under 12% profit​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price =4000

discount = 4000×10/100=400

Selling price=4000-400= 3600

Cost price= 3600/120×100= 3000

profit = 12%

selling price = 3000×112/100=3360

discount = MP-SP

= 4000-3360

=640

Discount % = 640/4000×100

= 16 % ans
