Question 68

A retailer gives 40% discount on a certain article, to his customer. In this transaction, he earns a profit of 25% on that article. If the article costs ₹4,320 to the retailer, what is its marked price (in ₹)?

Solution

If the article costs ₹4,320 to the retailer.

In this transaction, he earns a profit of 25% on that article.

selling price = 4,320 of (100+25)%

= 4,320 of 125%

= $$4,320 \times 1.25$$

= 5400

A retailer gives 40% discount on a certain article, to his customer.

(100-40)% of Marked price = 5400

60% of the Marked price = 5400

0.6 $$\times$$ Marked price = 5400

Marked price = 9000
