    Question



    By how much above the cost should the goods be marked for sale, so that after allowing a trade discount of 20% and a cash discount of 6%, a net gain of 20% on the cost is made?

    A.

    60% above the cost

    B.

    40% above the cost

    C.

    50% above the cost

    D.

    55% above the cost

    Correct option is A

    Suppose, the cost price of good = Rs. 100
    Also, let the marked price = Rs. x
    Now, since, the net gain is 20% of cost price. So, the selling price (SP),
    SP = Cost price + Gain
    SP = 100 + (20% of 100)
    SP = 100 + 20 = Rs. 120
    = [(100 - 6(1/4)]% of (100 - 20)% of x = 120
    = (100 - 25/4)% of ( 80)% of x = 120
    = 375/4×1/100×(80 x)/100=120
    3x/4=120
    x=120×4/3 =160
    Since, 160 is 60% more than the 100.
