Question
Suppose a shopkeeper offers a 10% discount on the marked
price of an item and still earns a 10% profit. If the discount had not been applied, what would the approximate profit percentage be?Solution
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. '100x' So, selling price of the article = '100x' X 1.1 = Rs. '110x' ATQ: Marked price of the article X 0.9 = Rs. '110x' Or, marked price of the article = '110x' ÷ 0.9 = Rs. '122.22x' ≈ Rs. '122x' Now, Profit received when no discount was given = '122x' - '100x' = Rs. '22x' Required profit percentage = (22x/100x) X 100 = 22%

6x + 8y - [(12x + 6y) - (4x + 3y) + 2y] - 4xIf 9x2 + 16y2 = 24xy, then find the ratio of ‘x’ and ‘y’, respectively.
- Suppose [a + (1/16a)] = 3, then the value of [16a³ + (1/256a³)] is:
If, 6x + y = 20, and 2xy = 32, and 6x > y, then find the value of 216x³ – y³.
If x + 1/x = 2, find x⁷ + 1/x⁷.
(x – 6) 2 + (y + 2) 2 + (z – 4) 2 = 0, then find the value of 4x - 3y + z.
