Question 71

A shopkeeper sells a cooler at a discount of 15%.If he gives a discount of 19%, then he earns ₹ 332 less. What will be the marked price of the cooler?

Solution

Let the Marked Price of the cooler be Rs.100x
Selling Price after a discount of 15% = 85% of Rs.100x = Rs.85x
Selling Price after a discount of 19% = 81% of Rs.100x = Rs.81x
Given, Rs.85x - Rs.81x = Rs.332
=> 4x = 332 => x = 83
Therefore, Marked price = Rs.100x = Rs.100*83 = Rs.8300.
