उत्तर
M.P. of the sofa = Rs.36000, discount at Guwahati = 20%
S.P. = `(1 - "d"/100)` of M.P.
⇒ S.P. = `(1 - 20/100) xx 36000`
⇒ S.P. = `(80)/(100) xx 36000`
⇒ S.P. = Rs.28800
So, the S.P. at Guwahati is Rs.28800.
So, total expenses
= S.P. + travelling expenses + transportation of the article
= Rs.28800 + Rs.1500 + Rs.1200
= Rs.31500
So, the C.P. at Delhi = Rs.31500
a. S.P. at Delhi
= marked price
= Rs.36000
So, profit
= S.P. - C.P.
= Rs.36000 - Rs.31500
= Rs.4500
Profit %
= `"Profit"/"C.P." xx 100`
= `(4500)/(31500) xx 100`
= `14(2)/(7)`%
b. discount = 5% of 36000
= `(5)/(100) xx 36000`
= Rs.1800
⇒ S.P.
= 36000 - 1800
= Rs.34200
So, Profit
= S.P. - C.P.
= Rs.34200 - Rs.31500
= Rs.2700
Profit %
= `"Profit"/"C.P." xx 100`
= `(2700)/(31500) xx 100`
= `8(4)/(7)`%.
