The marked price of an article is ₹660. A shopkeeper allows a discount of 20% and still gets a profit of 10%. If he sells it for ₹470, his profit or loss per cent, correct to two decimal places will be: |
Profit 3.06% Loss 5.43% Profit 7.59% Loss 2.08% |
Loss 2.08% |
The marked price = 660. Discount = 20% Profit = 10% CP : MP = 80 : 110 \(\frac{CP}{660}\) = \(\frac{8}{11}\) CP = 480 If he sells it = 470 loss% = \(\frac{480 - 470}{480}\) × 100 = 2.08% |
