How much percent above the cost price should a shopkeeper mark his goods so as to earn a profit of 32% after allowing a discount of 12% on the marked price ?
-
- 50%
- 40%
- 60%
- 45%
Correct Option: A
Let the C.P. be ₹ 100 and the marked price be ₹ p.
| ∴ p × | = 132 | |
| 100 |
| ⇒ p = | |
| 88 |
= 150 i.e., more by 50%
∴ Required percentage = 50%
2nd method to solve this question.
Here, Gain % = 32%,, r1 = 12%, r = ?
| Gain % = | − r1 | |
| 100 |
| 32 = | − 12 | |
| 100 |
| 44 = | |
| 100 |
r = 50%
