Let label price be 100
Trader gets 19% discount so c.p for him =81
Apply m.p/c.p= (100+profit)/(100-discount)
Profit= 20% discount=10%
M.p/81= 120/90
M.p= 108
So 8% above label price option b is correct

Alternate apporach
cp=100 ,sp=100(1+p/100) [p is profit]
new cp= 118 , new sp=118(1+p/100)
118(1+p/100) - 100(1+p/100) =9
18p/100=9
p=50

24th
previously scale was 100( assumed value) now it becomes 125 let price of 1 unit =1rs
he is giving 125 unit and getting the price for 100 unit { cp for him=125,sp=100}
loss=(25/125)*100=20% (it can be treated as discount)
he gives discount 10%
successive discount of 20% and 10% =28%
apply mp/cp=(100+profit)/(100-discount)
let cp=100x
mp/100x=108/72
mp=150x
so 50% above cp

Solution to the 27th Question :
let 100 items cost 100
Rajesh will take away 110 items
Hence , CP of Rakesh => 110
Marked price for Rajesh : 100 x 121/90
SP : 100 x 121 /90 x 90/100 = 121
Percentage profit : ( 121 - 110)/110 x 100 = 10%

yes sir , could you give the explanation as well ?

Treat commission as the discount he will give and apply mp/cp= (100+profit)/(100-discount)
In first case p=8.08 and commission is 36
Mp/cp= 108.8/64
In 2nd case commission reduces by 24 means it becomes 12 and ratio of mp/cp remains same so
108.8/64=(100+new profit)/88
100+ new profit=149.6
New profit= 49.6

If cost price of 11 pens is same as marked price of 9 pens. What is the profit percentage if it is same as the discount percentage offered?
correct ans:10%
solution please

Let the cost price of 1 pen be Rs 1.
CP of 11 pens = MP of 9 pens = Rs. 11
CP of 9 pens = Rs 9.
if profit is p% then ,
9 x ( 100 + p)/100 = 11 x ( 100 - p)/
Solving this we get p = 10.

Vinayak bought a ticket for the grand finale of the ‘Bull fighting’ challenge in Valencia, Spain. Unfortunately, he had to change his plans and decided to sell his ticket. He expected a lot of demand for the ticket but had to sell it for 1/2 of what he had initially quoted. This reduced his profits by 60%. His profit margin, in %, must have been

66.66
TG Team 03/11/2018 6:36 pm
Let the price of the the ticket be X.
Quoted price : 2Y
Profit on quoted price : 2Y - X
Profit on 1/2 of quoted price : Y - X
40% of ( 2Y - X) = Y - X.
X/Y = 1/3
Profit Margin : 100 x ( 3-1)/2 = 66.66%

Let mp of 60 articles be 60 RS.
Discounted price = 60*(100-40)/100 =36rs
On selling at 36 RS he gains 20% so we have to maintain same price
Now 10 articles are destroyed so mp of 50 articles is 50 RS.
And we have to sell at 36 RS so discount = 14 RS
% discount = (14/50)*100 = 28%
Hence option D

If an article is sold for rs. X then there is a loss of 15%. And if the article is sold for rs. Y then there is a profit of 15%. What is the ratio of y-x/y+x ?
TG Team 19/01/2019 5:07 pm
assume the cost of article = C
15% loss = .85c =x
15% profit = 1.15c= y
now
(y-x)/(y+x) = (1.15-0.85)/(0.85+1.15) = 0.3/2 = 3/20
