Q. A shopkeeper marks an item 30% above the cost price and gives 20% discount to a customer.if the customer pays Rs.832 for the item, what is the cost price.

• let x is the cost price
  1.3 * x = price marked by shop keeper
  20% of discount on 1.3x rupees =(0.8*1.3*x)=832
  cost price x=800 rupees

• cp=100(actual price)
  mp=130(marked price)
  dis=20
  if 100%=130rs
  thn 20%=26rs
  so 130-26=104rs
  =>104=832(given)
  thn =>100=800
  so ans is 800

• let cp=Rs.x
  mp=Rs.13x/10
  sp=26x/25
  so by the problem
  26x/25=832
  so,x=Rs.800
