Question 62

The cost price of a pair of shoes is ₹12000. What should be the marked price (in ₹) on a pair of shoes such that after allowing a discount of 16%, the shopkeeper earns 12% profit?

Solution

marked price of (100-16)% = 12000 of (100+12)%

marked price of 84% = 12000 of 112%

$$84\ \times\ marked\ price\ =\ 12000\times112$$

$$marked\ price\ =\ 1000\times16$$

marked price = ₹16000
