Question
The ratio of cost price to the marked price of an
article is 5:8. The article had been marked above its cost price by Rs. 270. If the article was sold at a discount of Rs. 180, then find the profit/loss percentage incurred.Solution
Let the cost price and marked price of the article be Rs. 5x and Rs. 8x, respectivelyAccording to the question,8x – 5x = 270Or, x = 90Therefore, cost price of the article = 5x = Rs. 450Marked price of the article = 8x = Rs. 720Selling price of the article = 720 – 180 = Rs. 540Required profit percentage = {(540 – 450)/450} × 100 = 20%
