      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 ‘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] × 100 = 30% (approx)
