Given Selling Price = Rs.1200
Loss percentage = 20%
Then, Cost Price of the product = $1200 \times \dfrac{100}{100-20} = 1200 \times \dfrac{100}{80} = Rs.1500$
Required Profit percentage = 30%
Then, the required Selling Price = 130% of Rs.1500 = Rs.1950

MP=1000
Three successive discounts of 20% each and so SP=1000*(80/100)(80/100)(80/100)
SP=512
Profit=512-500
=12

MP=480
1.2*CP=480
CP=400
SP=MP-d
SP=480-d
$\frac{480-d-400}{400}\times100$=20
80-d=80
d=0

Total cost price=15*10
=150
Total selling price=5*8+12*7+3*16
=40+84+48
=172
Profit percent=$\frac{172-150}{150}\times100$
=14.66%

MP=400
SP=MP-discount
SP=400*90/100
SP=360
Cost price=360*10/13
Cost price=Rs 277

Total SP=16800
Cost price of 1st mobile=8400(100/70)
=12000
Selling price of 2nd mobile=8400
Cost price of 2nd mobile=16800-12000
=4800
Profit percent=$\frac{8400-4800}{4800}\times100$
=75%

Total Cost price=20*15
=300
As we have 20 different prices and 20 apples and eah apple is sold at a different price and so
Total SP=1+2+3+4…..20
=$\frac{20(20+1)}{2}$
=210
Loss percent=$\frac{300-210}{300}\times100$
=30%

Cost price=10000
Selling price=(80/100)*10000
=80000
New selling price=8000+1500
=9500
Loss percent=$\frac{10000-9500}{10000}\times100$
=5 %

Given CP=Rs 15000
SP=(120/100)*15000
=18000
New selling price=18000-1000
=17000
Loss percent=$\frac{17000-15000}{15000}\times100$
=13.33%

let the cost price be 100
Marked price =100*1.1=110
SP=MP-discount
=110-110*(20/100)
=88
Loss=100-88
=12
Loss percent=(12/100)*100
=12%

Let the cost price be x
Selling price=3x
Profit percent=$\frac{3x-x}{x}\times100$
=200%

MP=500
Three successive discounts of 10% each and so SP=500*(90/100)(90/100)(90/100)
SP=364.5
Profit=364.5-350
=14.5

MP=240
1.2*CP=240
CP=200
SP=MP-d
SP=240-d
$\frac{240-d-200}{200}\times100$=10
40-d=20
d=20

Total cost price=20*12
=240
Total selling price=5*10+14*7+8*11
=50+98+88
=236
Loss percent=$\frac{240-236}{240}\times100$
=1.66%

MP=300
SP=MP-discount
SP=300*80/100
SP=240
Cost price=240*100/120
Cost price=Rs 200

Total SP=10000
Cost price of 1st mobile=5000(100/80)
=6000
Selling price of 2nd mobile=5000
Cost price of 2nd mobile=10000-6000
=4000
Profit percent=$\frac{5000-4000}{4000}\times100$
=25%

Total Cost price=20*11
=220
As we have 20 different prices and 20 apples and eah apple is sold at a different price and so
Total SP=1+2+3+4…..20
=$\frac{20(20+1)}{2}$
=210
Loss percent=$\frac{220-210}{220}\times100$
=50/11 %

Cost price=15000
Selling price=(70/100)*15000
=10500
New selling price=10500+2000
=12500
Loss percent=$\frac{15000-12500}{15000}\times100$
=250000/15000
=50/3 %

Given CP=Rs 20000
SP=(80/100)*20000
=16000
New selling price=16000+1000
=17000
Loss percent=$\frac{20000-17000}{20000}\times100$
=15%
