Let the marked price of article be Rs. x and the C.P. be Rs. 100.
According to the question,
(100 – 32)% of x = 100⇒ x × 68 = 100 100

Let marked price of toy be y
∴ S.P. = y × 77 = 77y 100 100 C.P. = y × 77 × 100 = 7y 100 110 10
gains = ₹ 56
∴ gains = SP - CP∴ 77y − 7y = 56 100 10
Correct Option: B

Here , discount = 12% , SP of an article = ₹ 880
∴ Marked price = 100 × SP of an article 100 − Discount Marked price = 100 ×880 = ₹ 1000 100 − 12
We can find the required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, S.P. = ₹ 880, D = 12%, M.P. = ?M.P. = S.P. × 100 100 − D
Correct Option: C
Here , discount = 12% , SP of an article = ₹ 880
∴ Marked price = 100 × SP of an article 100 − Discount Marked price = 100 ×880 = ₹ 1000 100 − 12
We can find the required answer with the help of given formula :
Here, S.P. = ₹ 880, D = 12%, M.P. = ?M.P. = S.P. × 100 100 − D M.P. = 880 × 100 100 − 12 M.P. = 880 × 100 = ₹ 1000 88
