Question
A shopkeeper marked an article
60% above the cost price and sold it after giving a discount of 20%. Had he sold the article without giving any discount, then he would have earned a profit of 240. Find the original selling price of the article.Solution
ATQ,
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x. Marked price of the article = 1.60 × x = Rs. 1.60x Selling price of the article = 0.80 × 1.60x = Rs. 1.28x Profit if sold without a discount: 1.60x - x = 240 Or, 0.60x = 240 Or, x = 400 Selling price of the article = 1.28 × 400 = Rs. 512.
