Question 79

A shopkeeper allows 25% discount on the marked price of an article and he suffered a loss of 15%. What will be the profit percent if the article is sold at marked price?

Solution

Let cost price of article = Rs. $$100x$$

Loss % = 15%

=> Selling price = $$\frac{85}{100}\times100x=Rs.$$ $$85x$$

Discount % = 25%

=> Marked price = $$\frac{100}{(100-25)}\times85x$$

= $$\frac{4}{3}\times85x=Rs.$$ $$113.33x$$

If sold at marked price, => Profit % = $$\frac{(113.33x-100x)}{100x}\times100$$

= $$13.33\%$$

=> Ans - (C)
