c.p=280
s.p=((100 * 10.35)*280)/100=309
lwt x be labelled price
0.75*x=309
x=412

tanu chaudhary  (9 years ago)

according to the given situation..
(75/100)*labelled price= (100 + 145/14)/100 * 280
on solving we will get
lp=412

labeled price=((100+gain)/(100-discount))*cost price
= ((100+145/14)/(100-25))*280
= 412

Let the labelled price= Rs. x
He gains (145/14)% on Rs. 280 even after allowing 25% discount on Rs. x.
so,
280+(145/14% of 280) =x- 0.25x
x= Rs. 412

Let the required labeled price be Rs. K
After giving 25% discount, S.P. = Rs. k - 25% of k ...(1)
C.P. of the article = Rs.280.
Since, he gains 10 5/14 % on C.P., S.P = Rs. 140 + 10 5/14 % of 140
= Rs. 140 + (145/14) % of 140 ...(2)
From (1) and (2), we have
k - 25% of k = 140 + (145/14)% of 140
k - 25k/100 = 140 + 140x(145/14)/100
(75k)/100 = [14000 + 140x(145/14)]/100
75k = 14000 + 140x(145/14) = 14000 + (10x145) = 15450
75k = 15450
k = 206
Hence, the labeled price of the article is Rs.206.

let level price=x
after discount=3x/4
280+280(145/1400)=3x/4 (145/14%)
x=398.667

C.P=280
With the S.P formula
It is given as
S.P=((100+10.35)*280)/100
S.P=309
Thus the labelled price is
75/100*x=309
0.75*x=309
Thus x= 412
Ans:412
