  1. A retailer purchased radio sets at the rate of $ 400 each from a wholesaler. He raised the price by 30% and then allowed a discount of 8% on each set. His profit will be
    1. 19%
    2. 78.4%
    3. 22%
    4. 19.6%
Correct Option: D

Given that , cost price of a radio set = $ 400

Marked price of a radio set =
400 × 130
= $ 520
100

S.P. of a radio set =
520 × 92
= $ 478.4
100

Gain = 478.4 - 400 = $ 78.4
∴ Gain percent =
78.4
× 100 = 19.6%
400
