Question

The marked price of a book is Rs 2000. If it is sold at 15% discount and 25% profit, find the discount amount, selling price and cost price.

​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked Price ( MP) = Rs. 2000

discount rate = 15 %

profit rate = 25 %

Discount amount = discount % of MP

= 15 / 100 * 2000

= Rs. 300

Now

Selling Price ( SP) = MP - discount amount

= Rs. ( 2000 - 300 )

= Rs. 1700

Also ,

`Cost Price ( CP) \\= (SP * 100 )/(100 + P percent ) \\= (1700 *`100)/(100 + 25) \\=Rs. 1360`

hope it will help :)
