Question
A shopkeeper priced an article at 75% above its cost
price and offered a 30% discount on it during the sale. Alternatively, if he had applied two consecutive discounts of 20% and 10% instead, he would have earned Rs. 168 more in profit. Determine the cost price of the article.Solution
Let the cost price of the article = Rs. x So the marked price of the article = Rs. 1.75x Original selling price of the article = 1.75x × 0.70 = 1.225x Increased selling price of the article = 1.75x × 0.80 × 0.90 = Rs. 1.26x According to question: 1.26x – 1.225x = 168 0.035x = 168 x = 4800 So the cost price of the article = Rs. 4,800Â
- What will come in the place of question mark (?) in the given expression?
(198/13) X (52/11) - ? ÷ 5 = 13 + 68 ÷ 4 1500 ÷ 15 + 1000 ÷ √100 + ? = 250 * 3
2856 ÷ 34 = ?% of 240
What will come in the place of question mark (?) in the given expression?
(20% of 820 – 56 + 11 × 8) 1/2 = ? – 62
What value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question?
45 × 2 + 180 ÷ 6 − 12 = ? Â
√49 + √144% of 3600 = ?
182 + 10 × 12 - ? = 312
What will come in the place of question mark (?) in the given expression?
45% of (√6400 × 5) = ? + 111Â
