Anu fixes the selling price of an article at 25% above its cost of production. If the cost of production goes up by 20% and she raises the selling price by 10% then her percentage profit is (correct to one decimal place):
- 14.6%
- 13.8%
- 15.2%
- 16.4%

Let cost price of the article be Rs. 100
Selling price of the article = 100 x 125/100 = Rs. 125
Profit = 125-100 = Rs. 25
New cost price of the article = 100 × (120/100) = Rs. 120
New selling price of the article = 125 x (110/100) = Rs. 137.5
New profit = 137.5 - 120 = 17.5
.. Profit percentage = (17.5/120) x 100 = 14.6%

A person sells an article at a profit of 12%. If he had purchased it for 12% less and sold it for Rs. 9 less, he would have gained 27%. What is the original cost price of the article?
- Rs. 4,500
- Rs. 4,000
- Rs. 4,250
- Rs. 3,750

Let the cost price of the article be Rs. 100.
Selling price would be Rs. 112.
New cost price (12% less) = Rs 88
New selling price (27% profit) = 127% of 88 = Rs. 111.76
Now, the difference between both selling prices = 112-111.76 = Rs. 0.24
When the difference is 0.24, CP = Rs. 100
When the difference is 9, CP = 100 × 9/0.24 = Rs. 3750
Hence the cost price of the article is Rs. 3750.

A shopkeeper gives two successive discounts of 20 % and 10 % on surplus stock. Further, he also gives a 5 % extra discount on cash payments. If a person buys a shirt from the surplus stock and pays in cash, what overall discount percent will he get on the shirt?
Neraj (TG) 23/07/2024 5:28 pm
Let the marked price of the shirt be Rs. 1000 => Price after first discount = Rs. 1000 – 20 % of Rs. 1000 = Rs. 1000 – 200 = Rs. 800 => Price after second discount = Rs. 800 – 10 % of Rs. 800 = Rs. 800 – 80 = Rs. 720 => Price after cash discount = Rs. 720 – 5 % of Rs. 720 = Rs. 720 – 36 = Rs. 684 Therefore, total discount = Rs. 1000 – 684 = Rs. 316 => Overall discount percent = (316 / 1000) x 100 = 31.60 %
