• ans is 25000
  if he offered discount of 3000 then sp wud be 27000
  27000=((100+8)/100)*cp
  on solving we get 25000

• sp=30000, dis=10%, so dis of 10%in 30000 is 3000.. the original selling price is (30000-3000)27000...
  profit=8%
  formula for cp=100/(100+gain)*sp
  we get cp=25000

• Given S.P=30,000::(90/100)*30,000=(108/100)*C.P ;solving, we get Rs.25,000

• hello sourav...
  as far as i am concerned you must give ph test.
  because its score is valid for 2 years so any mnc opening will come with in that period you can imediately apply in that,and most probably accenture will conduct drive soon.....

• Sp=30,000
  let 100%=30,000
  if he had given 10% discount
  90%=27,000
  now this 27,000 will be a profit of 8%
  so 108%=27,000
  hence 100%(i.e,CP)=25,000

• since 10 % discount on s.p =3000
  so 30000-3000=27000
  therefore 108 % =27000
  100%={27000/108}*100
  =25000(ans)

• he sold article by 30,000 and offer 10% . it means he is selling it in 27,000
  and still he earned 8% on cost price
  so let cost price is 100rs
  and he 100*8% = 108
  by 100 he eared 108 and by actual he earned 27000/108*100 = 25000rs
  
  formula is actual cost after calcuating/supposed cost after calculating * supposed value

• do like this
  (0.90*30000)=(1.08*CP)
  cp=25000
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• sold=30,000 and discount=10%
  so sp=30000-3000=27000
  gain/profit is 8% than pick choice answer 25,000 why
  25000 of cp gaining 8%=2000
  so sp=27000
