a dealer makes a profit of 20% even after giving a 10% discount on the the advertised price of a scooter.if he makes a profit of rs 7500 on the sale of the scooter,the advertised price was how much?

• Rs. 50000
  
  Let CP=Rs. x and Advertised Price=Rs. y, then
  (120/100)*x = (90/100)*y
  => 4x = 3y or y=4x/3
  As 20% profit =Rs. 7500, so CP, x = (100/20)*7500 = Rs. 37500
  Hence advertised price y=4x/3 =4*37500/3 =Rs. 50000

• 20 % = 7500 therefore 100% = 7500*5=37500 that will be cp.
  Now 20% profit therefore sp = 37500+7500=45000
  Now after 10% discount it is 45000 therefore orignal will be 100/90*45000=50000

• Let CP = x and MarkPrice = y
  He gives 10% discount (its on mark price) so SP = 0.9y
  
  get a profit of 7500 so
  
  20 = ( 7500 / x ) / 100 => x = 37500
  So CP = 37500
  
  We want mark price y
  so 7500 = SP - CP
  7500 = 0.9y - 37500
  
  y = 50000

• this type of belongs to marked price up.
  i.e when i sold something we merked up(increase) of the cost price.
  marked price = cp + cp%profit.
  given , profit = 7500.
  profit % = 20 %.
  cp = profit/profit% * 100.
  cp = 7500/20 * 100.
  cp = 37500.
  marked price = 37500 + (37500 * 20)/100. = 45000
  now then the selling price with discount 10% then, sp = marked price - %discount.
  sp = 45000 - (45000*10)/100.
  advertised price = sp =40,500 rs

• 50,000
  Cp + p = Advertised price - disount
  cp + p/100 * cp = Advertised price - discount % on advertised price
  1.20cp = 0.90AP
