Question:

A shopkeeper allows a 28% discount on the marked price of an article and still makes a profit of 30%. If he gains ₹39.90 on the sale of one article, then what is the marked price (to the nearest ₹) of the article ?

Options:

200

240

173

133

Correct Answer:

240

Explanation:

Let MP = 100

ATQ , CP = 100 × \(\frac{72}{100}\) × \(\frac{100}{130}\) = 55.4

SP = 100 × \(\frac{72}{100}\) = 72

Profit = 72 - 55.4 = 16.6

16.6 = 39.9 (Given)

100 = 240
