    Let MP of the shirt = ₹ N
    According to the question,
    [(9 - 7) x N] / 100 = 15

    Correct Option: A

    Let MP of the shirt = ₹ N
    According to the question,
    [(9 - 7) x N] / 100 = 15
    ⇒ N = (15 x 100) / 2 = ₹ 750

  1. A trader lists his article 20 % above their cost prices and allows a discount of 10 % at the time of sale . His gain percent is

    Let the CP = N
    ∴ Marked price of item = (N x 120)/100 = 6N/5
    Then, SP of item = (6N/5) x (100 -10)/100 = 27N/25
    Profit = (27N/25) - N = 2N/25

    Correct Option: C

    Let the CP = N
    ∴ Marked price of item = (N x 120)/100 = 6N/5
    Then, SP of item = (6N/5) x (100 -10)/100 = 27N/25
    Profit = (27N/25) - N = 2N/25
    Profit % = [(2N/25) / N] x 100% = 8 %

    Let the original price of pant and shirt be = ₹ N.
    ∴ Cost price of point and shirt = [N x (100 - 25)]/100 = ₹ 3N/4
    And selling price of shirt and pant = (3N/4) x (100 + 40)/100 = (3N/4) x (140/100)
    = ₹ 21N/20

    Correct Option: A

    Let the original price of pant and shirt be = ₹ N.
    ∴ Cost price of point and shirt = [N x (100 - 25)]/100 = ₹ 3N/4
    And selling price of shirt and pant = (3N/4) x (100 + 40)/100 = (3N/4) x (140/100)
    = ₹ 21N/20

    Hence, required percentage
    = [(21N/20 - N)/ N] x 100 % = 100 / 20 % = 5%

  1. The marked price of a radio is ₹ 480 . The shopkeeper allows a discount of 10 % and gains 8 % . If no discount is allowed, his gain percent would be

    Here, MP = ₹ 480 , r = 10 % and R = 8 %
    ∴ CP = MP x (100 - r)/(100 + R)
    profit = MP - CP

    Correct Option: D

    Here, MP = ₹ 480 , r = 10 % and R = 8 %
    ∴ CP = MP x (100 - r)/(100 + R)
    = 480 x (100 - 10)/(100 + 8) = (480 x 90)/108 = ₹ 400
    ∴ Profit = 480 - 400 = ₹ 80
    Hence, profit percent = (80/400) x 100 % = 20 %

  1. The cost price of an article is ₹ 800 . After allowing a discount of 10 %, a gain of 12.5 % was made . Then, the marked price of the article is

    Here, CP = ₹ 800 , r = 10 % and R = 12.5 %
    ∴ Marked price (MP) = CP x (100 + R)/(100 - r)

    Correct Option: A

    Here, CP = ₹ 800 , r = 10 % and R = 12.5 %
    ∴ Marked price (MP) = CP x (100 + R)/(100 - r)
    = 800 x (100 + 12.5)/(100 - 10)
    = (800 x 112.5)/90 = ₹ 1000
