  1. The marked price of a radio is ₹ 4,800. The shopkeeper allows a discount of 10% and gains 8%. If no discount is allowed, his gain per cent will be
    1. 18%
    2. 20%
    3. 22%
    4. 25%
Correct Option: B

Here , marked price of a radio = ₹ 4,800 , discount = 10% and gains = 8%
Let CP of radio be Rs. y.
According to the question,

108y
= 4800 ×
90
= 4320
100100

⇒  y =
4320 × 100
= ₹ 4000
108

Gain = 4800 - 4000 = ₹ 800
If no discount is allowed,then
Gain percent =
800
× 100 = 20%
4000

Second method :
Given Here , M.P. = ₹ 4800, D = 10%, r = 8%
With the help of given formula ,
M.P.
=
100 + r
C.P.100 − D

4800
=
100 + 8
C.P.100 − 10

C.P. =
4800 × 90
= 4000
108

Gain % (without discount) =
4800 − 4000
× 100
4000

Gain % =
800
× 100 = 20%
4000
