Answer 2

Answer:

The market price is Rs.500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To 25% gain after allowing 10% discount the shopkeeper.

To find : What is a mark the price of the article which cost him ₹ 360?

Solution :

The cost price is CP=Rs.360

Discount percentage is D%=10%

Gain % = G%=25%

Let the market price be x

The selling price is

$SP=MP(1-D\%)$

$SP=x(1-0.1)$

$SP=0.9x$

We know,

$G=G\%\times CP$

$G=\frac{25}{100}\times 360$

$G=90$

Gain = Selling price - Cost price

90 = 0.9x - 360

0.9x=450

x=500.

Therefore, The market price is Rs.500.
