Read Solution (Total 19)
-
- discount=10% (400)
=40
hence 400-40=360 is sp
so, cp=100/(100+12)*360
=321.4

- 10% of 400=40
so,400-40=360(s.p)
he earns a profit of 12%,
so 1.12cp=sp
=>1.12 cp=360
=>cp=321.42 (NOT GIVEN IN OPTION) - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
- Marked price = Rs 400
Discount of 10% = 0.1*400= Rs. 40
Therefore new S.P is Rs.360
He earns 12% profit :: therefore Rs.360*100/120= Rs.300 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(21)

- 10% of 400=40 then book seller sold that book at the cost of 360
12% of 360=43.2 then 360-43=317 so cost price of the book = 317

- SP=90% of 400=320
12%=PROFIT
CP=(100/112)*320=285.71 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(11)
- s.p of book=400
discount is 10%=90*400/100=360
s.p=360
we know s.p=g%*100
360=120*c.p/100
c.p=360*100/120
c.p=300. - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)
- 10 % of 400 is 40 so sp is 360 so the anser is around 300
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- Here it is said that the SP initially is Rs400.
Now 10% discount on SP = Rs 40
so the current SP becomes 400-40 = 360
No ,
C.P = ((100)/(112))*360 = 321.42 appx(Ans) - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)

- s.p=400(90100)=360
c.p=100(120(360)=300
note:12% is take it as 20% - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)

- discount is 10%(400) => 40
s.p= 400-40=360
so, profit of 12% of c.p is s.p
=> 12/100 c.p = 360 => 300 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- Let us assume book C.P = Rs. X
Given printed price = Rs 400
Bookseller offer discount of 10% = 0.1*400= Rs. 40
Therefore new S.P = Rs.360
Condition: He still earn profit of 12%
=> x*120/100 = Rs. 360
=> x = Rs.360*100/120= Rs.300 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- book=rs 400 =>10% discount=>360 rs
360rs=>earned 12% profit
=360*100/120 =>300rs

- Lets assume book CP = Rs. X
Given printed price = Rs 400
Bookseller offer discount of 10% = 0.1*400= Rs. 40
Therefore new S.P = Rs.360
Condition: He still earn profit of 12%
x*120/100 = Rs. 360
=>x = Rs.360*100/120= Rs.300 - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- firstly S.P=400 and discount=10%
S.P now becomes=400-(400*(10/100))
S.P=360
instead of 12% if u would have placed 20% then the ans is 300
by evaluating S.P=((100+profit)/100)*C.P
360=(120/100)*C.P
C.P=300 - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Lets Rs x be the cost price of book.
Given, printed price = Rs 400
Bookseller offer discount of 10% = 0.1 × 400= Rs. 40
Therefore, new selling price = Rs. 360
Condition given : He still earn profit of 12% .
∴ = Rs. 360
x = Rs. = Rs.300 - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
