Atul makes a profit of 20% even after offering a discount of 25% on the marked price of a wooden antique table. If he makes a profit of Rs.2000 on sale of the table, the marked price is:1). Rs. 100002). Rs. 120003). Rs. 140004). Rs. 16000

Answer»

LET the marked price be RS. X.

Then, S.P = Marked price – Discount

⇒ S.P = X – 25% of X = 75X/100

⇒ S.P = 3X/4---- (1)

Given, Profit % = 20%

S.P = C.P + Profit

⇒ S.P = C.P + 20% of C.P

⇒ S.P = 120 C.P/100

⇒ Profit = S.P – C.P

⇒ Profit = 120 C.P/100 – C.P = 20 C.P/100

⇒ 2000 = 20 C.P/100

⇒ C.P = 10000

⇒ S.P = 120 × 10000/100 = 12,000

From (1),

3X/4 = 12,000

⇒ X = Rs. 16000

∴ Marked price is Rs. 16000
