Manoj sold an article for rs. 15000. Had he offered a discount of 10% on the selling price he would have earned a profit of 8% what is the cost price?

• S.P. after 10% discount= 15000-10%of15000= 15000-1500= Rs. 13500
  Profit on S.P. = 8%
  C.P.= 13500⁄108 ×100= Rs. 12500

• profit/100=(sp-cp)/cp
  profit%=sp/cp-1
  profit%+1=sp/cp
  8/100+1=sp/cp
  1.08=sp/cp
  cp*1.08=sp
  cp*1.08=0.9*markedprice
  cp*1.08=.9*15000
  then,cp=12500
