Question 65

A man wanted to sell his bat at a discount of 8%. His brother who was a cricketer wanted to buy the bat, so the man sells it at a discount of 10%. In this deal, the man reduces Rs.70 in profit. What was the market value of the bat?

Solution

Let the marked price of the bat be 100%.

Profit reduce = Rs.70

Man reduces profit because he increase in the discount.

Difference in discount = 70

10% - 8% = 70

Marked price(100%) = $$\frac{70}{2} \times 100$$ = Rs.3500
