Question
The marked price of an article is
Rs. 'x' more than its selling price. If the selling price of the article had been Rs. (x - 30) more than the actual selling price, the profit earned on the article would have been 50%. If the cost price of the article is Rs. 100, find the marked price of the article.Solution
ATQ,
Given: Marked Price (MP) is x more than Selling Price (SP): MP = (SP + x). If SP was increased by x − 30, profit = 50% of Cost Price (CP = 100): SP + (x − 30) = 150.
Solve: From SP + x − 30 = 150: SP + x = 180. Since MP = SP + x, MP = 180.Â
