      A shopkeeper marked an article x% above the cost price

      and sold it after two consecutive discounts of 20% and 25%. Find the value of β€˜x’, if in this transaction he had a loss of 7%.
      A 75% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 45% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 55% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the cost price of the article be Rs. 100 Marked price of the article = 100 Γ— {(100 + x)/100} = Rs. (100 + x) Selling price of the article = (100 + x) Γ— 0.80 Γ— 0.75 = (100 Γ— 0.93) => 0.6(100 + x) = 93 => 60 + 0.6x = 93 => 0.6x = 33 => x = 55 So, the value of β€˜x’ = 55%
