An item is sold for ₹504 after allowing 20% discount and still a profit of 5% has been earned. The marked price is how much more than the cost price?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → ₹150
We have,
Discount = 20%
Profit = 5%
Selling price = 504
According to the question,
Let the mark price = x
Now, x × \(\frac{80}{100}\) = 504
x = 630
Now the cost price ,
CP × 105% = 504
CP = 480
The marked price is 630 - 480 = 150 more than the cost price.
