"When a Seller purchased an item
for Rs. 1200. He marked it above the cost price and sold it with two successive discounts of 25% and 20%. By what percentage did he mark the item above its cost price if he incurred a loss of Rs. 84 in this transaction?"Solution
ATQ,
Let, the seller marked the items d% above the cost price. Marked price of the item = 1200 × {(100 + d)/100} = Rs. ‘1200 + 12d’ Selling price of the item = (1200 + 12d) × 0.75 × 0.80 = 1200 – 84 720 + 7.2d = 1116 7.2d = 396, d = 55 So, the seller marked the item at 55% above the cost price
