Question

The marked price of a radio is Sh. 12600. If the shopkeeper can allow a discount of 15% on the marked price and still make a profit of 25%.At what price did the shopkeeper buy the radio?​

Answer 1

13388

Explanation:

12600 will be 100% so we want to get at what price its sold when there is a 15%dicount

So will minus 15% from the 100% of the Mp

100%-15%=85%

so if 100%=12600

what about 85%=?

we crossmultiply

85%×12600/100%=10710

so10710 is what the radio will be sold if a 15% dicount is given but we want to get wat price the shopkeeper got in that he made a profit of25%

so if 100%=10710

what about 125%

125%×10710/100%=13387.5 which is 13388/=
