Question

AFTER allowing 4 % discount on the marked price of an article there is a profit of 20 % if the cost price of the article is RS 800 find marked price ? plz plz plz plz plz saw plz​

Answer 1

• Rs. 1000

Explanation:

Let the marked price is x

• Discount 4% ⇒ x - 4% = 0.96x
• CP = Rs. 800
• Profit after discount = 20%

• SP = 800 + 20% = 800*1.2 = Rs. 960

Now we have below equation:

• 0.96x = 1.2*800
• 0.96x = 960
• x = 960/0.96
• x = 1000

MP is Rs. 1000
