ans. 38
Read Solution (Total 8)
-
- let c.p=100
15% gain-> 100+15=115
20% gain on 115= 115+ (11.5*2)=115+23=138
so ans=138-100=38 - 14 years agoHelpfull: Yes(26) No(2)
- final gain= 15+ 20+ (15*20)/100=38

- consider the C.p=100,
(115/100)*(120/100)*100=138
net gain=138-100=38 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- it as the formula ie x+y+xy/100
where x is 15 and y is 20
15+20+15*20/100
=38 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- Such questions can be solved in the following way:
Total price = (1-0.2)*(1-0.15) = 0.8*0.85 = 0.68 = 68% of the original price
So, total discount = 32% - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- let CP=100.
then, on 15% gain, SP will be = 100 + (15*100)/100 = 115.
now, on 20% gain on this SP, new SP will be = 115 + (20*115)/100 = 115 + 23 = 138.
therefore, total gain on CP = 38%. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 15% gain
that is,
(85 * 80)/100 = 68
Now,
100-68 = 32
so, 32 is ans.
