Question:

A trader allows a discount of 18% on the marked price of an article. How much percentage above the cost price must he mark it so as to get a profit of 6.6%?

Options:

30

24

28

25

Correct Answer:

30

Explanation:

CP ∶ MP = (100 - D%) ∶ (100 + P%)

CP ∶ MP = (100 - 18) ∶ (100 + 6.6)

CP ∶ MP = 82 ∶ 106.6

Required percentage = \(\frac{106.6 - 82}{82}\) × 100

= 30%
