    Question

    The ratio of marked price to cost price of a pair of

    shoes is 9:6, respectively. If the shopkeeper offers a discount of 15% on the marked price, then find the gain percentage on selling the shoes.
    A 13.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10.23% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 27.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the marked price and cost price of the shoes be Rs. '9x' and Rs. '6x', respectively. So, selling price of the shoes = 9x × 0.85 = Rs.7.65x So, profit earned = 7.65x − 6x = Rs.1.65x Profit percentage = (1.65x/6x) × 100 = 27.5%
