    on the market price to his customers. At what percent higher than the cost price must they mark their goods?
    A 29% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 39% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 27% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 42% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of goods = 100 SP of goods = 125% of 100 = 125 MP of goods = 125 × 100/90 = 1250/9 Difference of MP and CP = 1250/9 - 100 = (1250-100)/9 = 350/9 Difference% = (350/9)/100 × 100 = 350/9 = 39%(approx.)
