  1. A dealer offers a discount of 10% on the marked price of an article and still makes a profit of 20%. If its marked price is ₹ 800, then the cost price of the article is :
    1. ₹ 900
    2. ₹ 800
    3. ₹ 700
    4. ₹ 600
Correct Option: D

Here , marked price = ₹ 800
On discount of 10% ,

S.P. of that article = 800 ×
90
= ₹ 720
100

He still makes 20% profit
∴  C.P. of the article = 720 ×
100
= ₹ 600
120

Second method to solve this question :
Here, r = 20% , D = 10% , M.P. = ₹ 800 , C.P. = ?
M.P.
=
100 + r
C.P.100 − D

800
=
100 + 20
C.P.100 − 10

C.P. =
800 × 90
120

C.P. = ₹ 600
