Question
A trader marked an article 25% above its cost price and
sold it after allowing a discount of 17%. If the transaction resulted in a profit of Rs. 36, then find the cost price of the articleSolution
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘x’ Marked price of the article = x × 1.25 = Rs. ‘1.25x’ Selling price of the article = 1.25x × 0.83 = Rs. ‘1.0375x’ Profit = 1.0375x – x = Rs. ‘0.0375x’ ATQ; 0.0375x = 36 So, x = 960 Therefore, cost price of the article is Rs. 960.
