$13\frac{3}{23}$ % $13\frac{11}{23}$ % $13\frac{2}{23}$ % $13\frac{4}{23}$ % |
$13\frac{11}{23}$ % |
Let the cost price of the coconut = 100 Markup = 15% Then the selling price of the coconut = 115% of 100 = 115 Now it should sell at = (115 - 100) × \(\frac{100}{115}\) = $13\frac{11}{23}$ % less for no profit and no loss. |
