Question
An article is initially marked 22% above its cost price.
After offering a discount of ₹210 on the marked price, the seller earns a profit of 8%. What would the selling price of the article need to be in order to achieve a profit of 33%?Solution
Let the cost price of the article = Rs. '100x' According to the question, 100x X 1.22 - 210 = 100x X 1.08 Or, 122x - 210 = 108x So, x = 210 ÷ 14 = 15 Cost price of the article = 15 X 100 = Rs. 1,500 Desired selling price = 1500 X 1.33 = Rs. 1,995
