Question
A laptop is given a discount of Rs. 2500, which is Rs. 1000
less than the profit made on the sale. If the cost price of the laptop is Rs. 2000, find out the mark-up percentage.Solution
ATQ,
Given, Discount = Rs. 2500, Cost price = Rs. 2000
Also, Profit = 2500 + 1000 = Rs. 3500
Selling price = 2000 + 3500 = Rs. 5500
Marked price = 5500 + 2500 = Rs. 8000
So, required percentage = {(8000 - 2000) /2000} × 100 = 300%
