-
- ans is 300
coz discount id always on MP.... so let M.P be x.....
nd S.P is 100 + (50% of 100)= 150
so (50/100)*x = 150
on solving x= 300 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(33) No(5)
- S.P.=(100+Gain%)*C.P./100
S.P.=(100+50)*100/100
S.P.=150
Now,
(D)Rs.300
S.P.=(100-discount%)*M.P./100
150=(100-50)*M.P./100
150=M.P./2
M.P.=300 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(20) No(3)
- c.p = 100
gain = 50%
s.p = 150
let market price = x
x-x*50% = 150
x=300
ans.>>>>>>>>>>>(d)rs.300 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- c.p=100,50% gain i.e 50rs,50% discount i.e 50rs,
we know that
s.p = c.p+gain
s.p = 100+50 = 150,
we also know that
s.p = m.p - discount
m.p = s.p + discount
m.p = 150 + 50 = 200
ans = 200 i.e (A) - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(20)
- Ans:- 200/-
given that cp=100,gain=50%of100=Rs50
gain=sp-cp
sp=gain+cp=50+100=150
hence marked price Mp=sp+dicount=150+50=Rs200 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(18)
- sp=cp+(gain%)=100+(50/100)=150
let the marked price(MP) be x
then x*(discount%)=150
i.e x*(50/100)=150
then x=300
ans D)300 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Given c.p=100 ,gain%=50,discount=50%,mrp=?
S.p=mrp-discount
But we dont know sp so lets find sp first
sp=gain%of Cp
sp=150% of 100
sp=150
let Mrp=x
discount=50%0f Mrp
discount=(50/100)x
now s.p=Mrp-discount
150=x-(50/100)x
150*100/50=x
x=300.. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- answer is 200 bcoz by discount of 50% is 150rs and is has 50% gain when compared to cp
- 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(10)
- MP(100-d%) = CP(100+p%) =>
MP = CP(100+p%) / (100 - d%)
substitute values in the formula
MP = 100*(150) / (100 - 50) = > 1500 / 50 = 300
so , market price is : = 300 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 300
because CP=100
P=50%
=100*150/100=150
D=50%
New CP=150
=150*150/100=300
So MRP=300rs. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- cp=100,
Gain=50%
sp=(100+Gain /100)×cp (Formula)
sp= (100+50/100)×100
sp= 150,
Sp=(Discount% /100)× Marked price
150=(50/100)×Marked price
150=(1/2)×MP
150×2= Marked price
MP=300, - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
