      Question

      A mobile phone was sold with a discount of Rs. 1200, which

      is Rs. 400 less than the profit earned. If its cost price is Rs. 800, determine the mark-up percentage.
      A 442% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 580% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 350% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 450% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Given, Discount = Rs. 1200, Cost price = Rs. 800

      Also, Profit = 1200 + 400 = Rs. 1600

      Selling price = 800 + 1600 = Rs. 2400

      Marked price = 2400 + 1200 = Rs. 3600

      So, required percentage = {(3600 - 800) /800} × 100 = 350%
