      A shopkeeper marked an article 60% above its cost price

      and made a profit of Rs. 540 when he sold the article after giving a discount of 15%. Find the profit percent earned by the shopkeeper if he had sold the article for Rs. 1800.

      D 23% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let cost price of the article is Rs. ‘x’ So, Selling price of the article = 0.85 × 1.6 × x = Rs. 1.36x According to question; 1.36x – x = 540 Or, 0.36x = 540 Or, x = 1500 Desired Percentage = [(1800 – 1500)/1500] × 100 = 20%
