Question
A shopkeeper bought article ‘A’ for Rs. ‘x’ and
marked it 25% above its cost price and sold it for Rs. 4000. Marked price of article ‘B’ is Rs. 800 more than that of article ‘A’ while selling price of article ‘B’ is Rs. 200 more than that of ‘A’. Find the cost price of article ‘A’ if article ‘B’ is sold at a discount of 20%.Solution
Selling price of article ‘B’ = 200 + 4000 = Rs. 4200 Marked price of article ‘B’ = 4200/0.80 = Rs. 5250 Marked price of article ‘A’ = 5250 – 800 = Rs. 4450 Cost price of article ‘A’ = 4450/1.2 = Rs. 3560
