Question 74

Anu allows a discount on the marked price Of an article and still makes a profit Of 25%. If she gains ₹44.80 on the sale of the article, then the cost price of the article is:

Solution

Let the cost price of the article =x Rs.

As per the question, gain percentage =25%

Hence the selling price of the article $$=\dfrac{125x}{100}=1.25x$$

Gain amount $$=44.80Rs.$$

We know that gain= Selling price - Cost price

$$\Rightarrow 44.80=1.25x-x$$

$$\Rightarrow 0.25x=44.80$$

$$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{44.80}{0.25}=179.20$$Rs
