Read Solution (Total 21)
-
- Let the Marked Price of the item is x and the Cost Price be y.
For 25% discount the Selling price is 0.75x.
(0.75x-y)/y=0.25 which gives y=0.6x
next if the SP is 0.9x then
gain%=(0.9x-y)/y * 100 = (0.9x-0.6x)/0.6x * 100=50%
hence,profit% = 50%. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(53) No(5)
- let the marked price is RS 100
a/c Q selling price = 75 & profit is RS 25
if give RS 10 discount then we get RS 90
THEN PROFIT = (25/75)*90= 30 SO 30% - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(14) No(6)
- let item(price)-10 Rs
company gives 25% discount- 7.5 Rs
& make profit of 25% means actual price of item is- 5 Rs
after discount of 10% price of item is- 9 Rs
now profit %age of company is- (9-5)/10*100=40% - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(17)
- None of these. it will be 50%.
Let us consider the seeling price is 100rs.
then with 25% discount it will cost 75rs.
company makes 25 % profit so cost to company is 60rs.
now if compny gives 10% discount then selling price is 90rs.
which is 50% profit over Rs 60. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(5)
- We don't need to consider the cost price at all. It is already clued in the question.
1st Part
When we earn 25% profit by offering 25% discount it means:
Selling price before 25% discount=$100
Selling price after 25% discount= $75
So we come to know( as its mentioned in the question) that when we sell certain item with 25% discount or $75 we will get 25% profit.
2nd Part
Now if we give 10% discount then selling price after 10% discount = $90
How much profit will we get when we'll sell an item for $90?
So we need to find the profit by this basic cross multiplication method:
75---25
90---x
75x= 25*90/75= 30
So our profit will be 30% - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 50 % will be right
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
- For c.p. = 75, s.p. = 125
for c.p. = 1, s.p. = 5/3
So, for c.p. = 90, s.p. = 90x(5/3) = 150
So profit is (150-100) = 50% - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
- (25x*90)/75=30x
hence,profit=30 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
- 40%
cost price=75rs
price marked by company is 125 rs
after 25% discount price is=100 rs
after 10% discount,price is=115 rs
% profit=115-75=40 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(4)
- 60 % is the answer
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(13)
- c.p=100%
s.p=150%,discount=25%
profit=s.p-(discount+c.p)=25%
new profit=150%-(10%+100%)=40% - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- let the marked price is RS 100
a/c Q selling price = 75 & profit is RS 25
if give RS 10 discount then we get RS 90
THEN PROFIT = (25/75)*90= 30 SO 30%
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- Ans b: 55
Let us assume MRP= Rs.100, 25% discount means C.P.=Rs.75
Profit 25% means (25/100)*75=Rs.18.25
Original price= 75 - 18.25 = 56.75
Now discount is 10 %,then C.P. = 90
profit = 90 - 56.75 = 33.25 Rs.
Profit %= (profit/C.P) * 100
On substituting ,we get around 58%,near is 55%. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- lets Mark price = 100
after 25% discount = s.p=75
c.p=x
x*125%=75
so, x=60
Case - 2
10% discount=90
profit=30/60 *100
=50% - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)

- let MP be x. then
SP=x-25x/100=3x/4
gain=25
(sp-cp)/cp=25/100
(3x/4-cp)/cp=1/4
cp=3x/5
again
discount =10%
sp= x-10x/100=9x/10
gain= 9x/10-3x/5=3x/10
gain %= (3x/10)/(3x/5)*100=50% - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- my ans is c)35
if sp=60,cp=90, new dis value=90
there fore 25% discount of 90=25% profit 0f cp
10% discount of 90=35% profit of cp - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- All given options are wrong
Ans : 12.5 but this option is not available.
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- discount+profit=50%
i.e they show 50% higher than the actual cost
there fore for 10% discount 40% profit is correct - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 50% is absolutely correct
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 50% it is
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
