Question 13

The marked price of a trouser is twice of the cost price. To earn 36% profit, what should be the value of discount (in percentage)?

Solution

Let cost price = Rs. $$100x$$

=> Marked price = $$2\times100x=Rs.$$ $$200x$$

Profit % = 36%

=> Selling price = $$100x+(\frac{36}{100}\times100x)=Rs.$$ $$136x$$

$$\therefore$$ Discount % = $$\frac{(200x-136x)}{200x}\times100$$

=> $$\frac{64}{2}=32\%$$

=> Ans - (B)
