If cost price of article β€˜B’ is Rs. 960 and profit percentage earned on selling article β€˜B’ is 60% more than discount percentage given on selling article β€˜A’ then find the cost price of article β€˜A’.

    Solution

    Percentage profit earned on selling article β€˜B’ = [(1344 – 960)/960] Γ— 100 = 40% So, percentage discount given on selling article β€˜A’ = 40/1.6 = 25% So, marked price of article β€˜A’ = 8064/0.75 = Rs. 10752 Cost price of article β€˜A’ = 10752/1.28 = Rs. 8400
