\n= 140 + 176 + 900 + 301
\n= Rs1,667<\/p>\n
\nPrice after discount = 101855 -20% of 101855 = Rs 81,484
\nProfit = Rs 3,134<\/p>\n
\nThen cost price = 100 \u2013 40 = Rs. 60
\nSelling price = 100+ 50 = Rs. 150
\nProfit = 150 \u2013 60 = 90
\nProfit%=90\/60\u00d7100=150%<\/p>\n
\nIf the total amount is x, then this amount is (5\/8)x=11,25,000
\nHence, x=18,00,000<\/p>\n
\nAs per given condition, the labelled price will be 1.3x.
\nDiscounted price will be\u00a0 0.9*1.3x= 1.17x
\nNow, Profit = Price at which item was sold – Cost Price = 1.17x – x = .17x = 17% of Cost price. Hence, profit is 17%.<\/p>\n
\n=> 0.5(x) + 0.5(12) = 0.18
\n=> 0.5x = 0.12
\n=> x = 0.24<\/p>\n
\nLoss % = (CP-SP)\/CP = (x-6384)\/x = 0.3
\n1 – 6384\/x = 0.3
\nx = 9120
\nProfit % = (SP-CP)\/CP
\n0.3 = (SP-9120)\/9120
\nSP = 9120*1.3 = Rs 11,856<\/p>\n
\nSelling Price = 480 + (6.25\/100)*480 = 510
\nHence, the correct option is option A.<\/p>\n
\nProfit = SP – CP = 996 – CP
\nLoss = CP -SP = CP – 894
\nNow as Profit = Loss
\n2*CP = 1890
\nCP =945
\nHence, the cost price is 945.<\/p>\n
