      Question

      A shopkeeper marked an article 60% above its cost price

      and made a profit of Rs. 192 when he sold the article after giving a discount of 30%. Find the profit percent earned by the shopkeeper if he had sold the article for Rs. 2080.

      B 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let cost price of the article is Rs. ‘x’ So, Selling price of the article = 0.7 × 1.6 × x = Rs. 1.12x According to question; ⇒ 1.12x – x = 192 ⇒ 0.12x = 192 ⇒ x = 1600 Desired Percentage = [(2080 – 1600)/1600] × 100 = 30%
