At what percentage above the cost price must an article be marked so as to gain 38% after allowing a customer a discount of 8% on the marked price?
Let cost price = Rs. $$100x$$
=> Profit % = 38%
=> Selling price = $$\frac{138}{100}\times100x=Rs.$$ $$138x$$
After discount of 8%, marked price = $$\frac{138x}{92}\times100=Rs.$$ $$150x$$
$$\therefore$$ Markup % = $$\frac{(150x-100x)}{100x}\times100=50\%$$
