    Question

    A shopkeeper named Ramesh marks his articles at such a price that, even after allowing a discount of 20% on the marked price, he earns a profit of 15%, What is the marked price of one article, which costs Rs. 5,600?

    A.

    Rs. 10,550

    B.

    Rs. 9,000

    C.

    Rs. 7,950

    D.

    Rs. 8,050

    Correct option is D

    Discount = 20%
    Gain = 15%
    The cost price of the article = Rs. 5600
    SP = (100 + gain%)/100 × CP
    Discount = MP – SP
    Marked price = [100/(100 – Discount%) × SP]
    The cost price of the article = Rs. 5600
    Selling price of the article = [(100 + gain%)/100 × CP]
    [(100 + 15)/100 × 5600]
    (115/100 × 5600)
    6440
    Now,
    Marked price = [100/(100 – Discount%) × SP]
    [100/(100 – 20) × 700]
    (100/80 × 6440) = 8050
    The answer is 8050.
