Question

A dealer buys a T.V. set for Rs. 2500. He marks it at Rs. 3,200 and then gives a discount of 10% on it. Find:
(i) the selling price of the T.V. set
(ii) the profit percent made by the dealer.

Answer 1

C.P. of a T.V. set = Rs. 2500, M.P. = Rs. 3200

Rate of discount = 10%

∴ Total discount = Rs. `3200 xx 10/100` = Rs. 320

(i) Sellin price = Rs. 3200 - Rs. 320 =  Rs. 2880

(ii) Gain = S.P. - C.P.

= Rs. 2880 - Rs. 2500 = Rs. 380

∴ Gain% = `("gain" xx 100)/"C.P."`

`= (380 xx 100)/2500`

`= 76/5 = 15 1/5% = 15.2`
