    Question

    A shopkeeper marked an article P% above its cost price

    and sold it for Rs. 748.8 after giving a discount of 28%. If the shopkeeper had a loss of 6.4% on the whole transaction, then find the value of β€˜P’. (approximate value)
    A 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 17% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15.75% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 30% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Marked price of article = 748.8/0.72 = Rs. 1040 Cost price of the article = 748.8/0.936 = Rs. 800 So, P = [(1040 – 800)/800] Γ— 100 = 30% (approx)
