1. Rs. 40,800
2. Rs. 27,500
3. Rs. 35,750
4. Rs. 46,900

Answer 1

To find the marked price of the tablet given the cost price, discount, and profit percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the marked price of the tablet, we need to calculate the selling price first.

The retailer gave a 40% discount on the marked price, so the selling price is 60% of the marked price.

Selling price = 60% of marked price = 0.6 * marked price

Since the tablet is sold at a 40% profit, the selling price should be 140% of the cost price.

Let's calculate the selling price:

1. Cost price = Rs. 20,100
2. Selling price = 140% of the cost price = 1.4 * Rs. 20,100
3. Selling price = Rs. 28,140

Now, we can find the marked price by using the equation:

Marked price = Selling price / Discounted price

Marked price = Rs. 28,140 / 0.6

Marked price = Rs. 46,900
