Practicing Success
On reducing the marked price of his goods by ₹28, a shopkeeper gains 20%. If the cost price of the article be ₹560 and it is sold at the marked price, what will be the gain per cent? |
30% 25% 20% 15% |
25% |
Gain = 20% Cost price = 560 The marked price of goods was reduced by Rs28 20 = \(\frac{S.P. - 560}{560}\) × 100 = S.P. = 672 So, marked price = 672 + 28 = 700 New S.P. = 700. Gain = 700 – 560 = 140. Gain % = \(\frac{140}{560}\) × 100 = 25% |
