उत्तर

S.P. of 15 articles = C.P. of 12 articles

Let C.P. of 1 article = Rs.1

C.P. of 12 article = Rs.12

and C.P. of 15 articles = Rs.15

S.P. of 15 articles = Rs.12...[S.P. of 15 articles = C.P. of 12 articles]

Loss = Rs.15 – Rs.12 = Rs.3

Loss% = `3/15xx 100 = 20%`

What price should Aslam mark on a pair of shoes which costs him Rs 1200 so as to gain 12% after allowing a discount of 16%?


If marked price = ₹ 1700, selling price = ₹ 1540 then find the discount.


After offering discount of 10% on marked price, a customer gets total discount of 17 rupees. To find the cost price for the customer, fill in the following boxes with appropriate numbers and complete the activity.

Suppose, marked price of the item = 100 rupees

Therefore, for customer that item costs `square` - `square`  = 90 rupees

Hence, when the discount is `square` then the selling price is `square` rupees. 

Suppose when the discount is `square` rupees, the selling price is x rupees.

∴ `x/square=square/square`

∴ x = `(squarexxsquare)/square`

∴ x = `square`

∴ the customer will get the item for 153 rupees.
