and made a profit of Rs. 392 when he sold the article after giving a discount of 20%. Find the profit percent earned by the shopkeeper if he had sold the article for Rs. 2100.Solution
Let cost price of the article is Rs. ‘x’ So, Selling price of the article = 0.8 × 1.6 × x = Rs. 1.28x According to question; 1.28x – x = 392 Or, 0.28x = 392 Or, x = 1400 Desired Percentage = [(2100 – 1400)/1400] × 100 = 50%
