Answer 2

Answer:

• i.) The selling price = Rs. 425
• ii.) The cost price = Rs. 340

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Vinod is selling an article at a discount of 15%.

To Find:

• (i) The selling price if the marked price is Rs.500.
• (ii) The cost price if he makes 25% profit.

Solution:

• M.P. of an article = Rs. 500
• Discount% = 15%

♦ Discount = Discount% of M.P.

• Discount = 15% of Rs. 500
• Discount = 15/100 × 500
• Discount = 15 × 5
• Discount = Rs. 75

♦ S.P. = M.P. - Discount

• S.P. = Rs. (500 - 75)
• S.P. = Rs. 425

After that,

• S.P. = Rs. 425
• Profit = 25% ( given )

♦ C.P. = 100/(100 + Profit%) × S.P.

• C.P. = 100/(100 + 25) × 425
• C.P. = 100/125 × 425
• C.P. = 100/125 × 425
• C.P. = 100/5 × 17
• C.P. = 20 × 17
• C.P. = Rs. 340
