Question:

A shopkeeper allows 18% discount on the marked price of an article and still makes a profit of 23%. If he gains ₹18.40 on the sale of the article, then what is the marked price of the article?

Options:

₹ 120

₹ 125

₹ 140

₹ 146

Correct Answer:

₹ 120

Explanation:

CP × 23% = 18.40

          CP = 80

          SP = 80 + 18.40 = 98.40

           MRP × 82% = 98.40

           MRP = 120
