Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 48 : 25 Given: Profit% = 5% Discount 1 = 37.5% Discount 2 = 12.5 To find: MP: CP Formula used: Selling price = Marked price (100 - discount 1)/100 × (100 - discount 2)/100 Calculation: Let CP = 100 there is a profit of 5% on CP that is 105 Hence SP = 105 105 = MP [(100 - 37.5) / 100 × (100 - 12.5) / 100] 105 = MP 62.5 / 100 × 87.5 / 100 105 = MP 5/8 × 7/8 MP = 192 MP : CP = 192 : 100 ⇒ MP : CP = 48 : 25 |
