What price should a trader mark on an articles that cost him 4000rs to gain 10% after allowing a discount of 12%

Answer 1

$\Huge\sf\textsf{Solution:-}$

From this example , you can solve the above question

C.P =918, given 20% gain

918/5= 183.6 ,

183.6+918=1101.6

Instead of taking SP as X take it as 100.

100-15/100 = 1101.6,

1101.6/85*100= 1296 

Trader mark price is 1296
