A retailer purchases a sofa set at a discount of 20% and sells it for Rs. 2200. In the bargain he makes a profit of 20%. How much discount (in Rs.) did he receive?1). 13752). 68753). 7854). 458

Answer»

Let the M.P of the SOFA set be RS. x

Then, C.P for the RETAILER = M.P – 20% of M.P

⇒ C.P = x – 20x/100

⇒ C.P = 80x/100

The retailer sells it at Rs. 2200 and makes a profit of 20%.

S.P = C.P + profit

⇒ 2200 = 80x/100 + 20% of 80x/100

⇒ 2200 = 96x/100

⇒ x = 6875/3

Thus, M.P = 6875/3

DISCOUNT offered was 20%.

⇒ discount = 20% of 6875/3 = 1375/3

∴ discount = Rs. 458.33 ≈ Rs. 458
