Question

The ratio of profit percentage and discount percentage on an article is 4 : 5. And the ratio of the discount percentage and the increase in the price is in the ratio 1 : 2. Then find the profit? If the selling price of the article is ₹ 1620​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

CP:MP = 2x:3x

⇒ profit = MP- CP = 3x-2x=x

Profit % : discount % = 3:2

Let CP= 200, SP = 300

But

100

3x

×200+

100

2x

×300=6x+6x=12x

⇒12x=100

⇒x=8.33%

∴ Discount = 2x= 16.66%
