The cost price of a pair of shoes is ₹12000. What should be the marked price (in ₹) on a pair of shoes such that after allowing a discount of 16%, the shopkeeper earns 12% profit?

Options:

14,330

16,000

13,440

16,500

Correct Answer:

16,000

Explanation:

        CP                    MP

      100 - D%           100 + P%

     100 - 16%           100 + 12%

         84                      112

CP = 84x= 12000 Given

then, 112x = 16000
