Find the amount of profit/loss if the marked price of one book is Rs. 160.1). Rs. 1500 loss2). Rs. 2000 profit3). Rs. 2000 loss4). Rs. 2500 profit

Answer»

Marked price of one book = Rs. 160

Selling price after 25% discount = 160 × 0.75 = Rs. 120

Since he is GIVING 500 books for free, remaining books are 3000

And also he is giving 1 book free for PURCHASE of every 29 books, he will get price of 29 books after giving 30 books.

Thus he will get price of 2900 books only;

∴ Selling price for 2900 books = 120 × 2900 = Rs. 348000

And Cost price of 3500 books = 3500 × 100 = Rs. 350000

∴ Loss = 350000 - 348000 = Rs. 2000
