- Let Marked price =x
After discount=0.8x
Discount =0.2x
Profit =0.2*0.15*x
Selling price=Cost price+Profit
1840=(0.8*x)+(0.2*0.15*x)
x(Original price)=2216.86 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- Let the original Price be x.
After discount, it becomes .8x plus he makes a profit of 15% on the discounted price hence .12x
So, .8x + .12x = 1840 and x = 2000 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
