Dealer purchased an article for Rs. 900 and fixes the list price in such a way that he gains 20% after allowing 10% discount, then the list price is
Let the list price = $$Rs.$$ $$100x$$
Discount % = 10Â %
=> Selling price = $$100x \times \frac{90}{100}=Rs.$$ $$90x$$ -----------(i)
Cost price = Rs. 900
Profit % = 20 %
=> Selling price = $$900 \times \frac{120}{100}=Rs.$$ $$1080$$ ----------(ii)
From (i) and (ii), => $$90x=1080$$
=> $$x=\frac{1080}{90}=12$$
$$\therefore$$ List price = $$100 \times 12=Rs.$$ $$1200$$
