What price should a shopkeeper mark on an article costing him ₹ 200 to gain 35% after allowing a discount of 25% ?
-
- ₹ 270
- ₹ 300
- ₹ 330
- ₹ 360
Correct Option: D
Let the marked price be p.
| ∴ | = 200 × | ||
| 100 | 100 |
| ⇒ p = | = ₹ 360 | |
| 75 |
2nd method to solve this question.
Here, r = 25%, R = 35%,
C.P. = ₹ 200
| Marked price = Rs. 200 + 200 × | ![]() | × 100 | ![]() | % | |
| 100 − r |
| = 200 + 200 × | ![]() | ![]() | % × 100 | |
| 100 − 25 |
| = 200 + | × 100% | |
| 75 |
| = 200 + | |
| 100 |
Hence Marked price = 200 + 160 = ₹ 360
