#### Discount

1. After allowing 15% discount, the selling price of a radio becomes Rs. 255. The marked price is
1. Rs. 500
2. Rs. 600
3. Rs. 400
4. Rs. 300

1. Let the marked price of radio be Rs. y.
According to the question,
85% of y = 255

 ⇒ y × 85 = 255 100

##### Correct Option: D

Let the marked price of radio be Rs. y.
According to the question,
85% of y = 255

 ⇒ y × 85 = 255 100

 ⇒  y = 255 × 100 = Rs. 300 100

1. A shopkeeper marks his goods 20% higher than the cost price and allows a discount of 5%. The percentage of his profit is:
1. 15%
2. 20%
3. 10%
4. 14%

1. Suppose C.P. of article = Rs. 100
Its marked price = Rs. 120
On 5% discount ,

 ∴  S.P. = 120 × 95 = Rs. 114 100

Profit = S.P. of article - C.P. of article = 114 - 100 = Rs. 14

##### Correct Option: D

Suppose C.P. of article = Rs. 100
Its marked price = Rs. 120
On 5% discount ,

 ∴  S.P. = 120 × 95 = Rs. 114 100

Profit = S.P. of article - C.P. of article = 114 - 100 = Rs. 14
 ∴ Profit percent = Profit × 100 C.P.

 Profit percent = 14 × 100 = 14% 100
