Question

what price should sushila mark on a saree which costs her rs. 2200 so as to gain 26% after allowing a discount of 12%? please answer​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. = 2200

Now we have to find a price that makes 26% profit and discount of 12%. So, we can apply successive formula.

$sp = ( \frac{100 + p\%}{100} )( \frac{100 - d\%}{100} )cp$

.

$sp = ( \frac{100 + 26}{100} )( \frac{100 - 12}{100} ) \times 2200$

.

$sp = \frac{126}{100} \times \frac{88}{100} \times 2200$

.

$sp = 2439.36$

Answer 2

Answer:

Sushila should mark rs.3150 on a saree which costs her ₹2200 so as to gain 26 % after allowing a discount of 12 %.

• Step-by-step explanation:

Let the SP be x

Discount = 12%

So, SP after discount = x-12%

$\frac{12}{100}$

$\frac{100-12}{100}$

$\frac{88}{100}$

CP = Rs.220

Gain% = 26%

SP after discount

$\frac{88}{100}$

Formula :

$CP = \frac{SP \times 100}{100+P\%}$

$2200= \frac{88x}{126}$

$\frac{2200 \times 126}{88}= \frac{88x}{126}$

3150=x3150=x

• Hence Sushila should mark rs.3150 on a saree which costs her ₹2200 so as to gain 26 % after allowing a discount of 12 %.
