Find the Profit % of the publisher if he gives 20% discount of the total selling price to the salesman, if marked price of each Book is Rs. 200. Â Â Â ÂSolution
Cost Price = 175000 Books = 2500 Less (Free samples) = 400 Remaining Books = 2100 2/3rd of 2100 = 1400 books Selling Price of One book after discount = 200 – Discount (15%) = 200 – 30 = 170 Selling Price = 1400 × 170 + 700 × 200 = 238000 + 140000 = 378000 Actual Selling Price = 378000 × 4/5 = 302400 Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price = 302400 – 175000 = 127400 Profit % = (127400/175000) × 100 = 72.8%
