The cost price of a toy is ₹ 210. What should be its MRP so that after a discount of 5% the shopkeeper gains 90% ?
Given:
Cost Price (C.P.) = ₹210
Discount = 5%
Gain = 90%
Formula Used:
S.P. = C.P. + Gain% of C.P.
S.P. = MRP ×
Solution:
Gain = 90% of ₹210 = = ₹189
So, S.P. = ₹210 + ₹189 = ₹399
Let MRP be ₹x.
After 5% discount,
S.P. = = ₹399
Now,
x = = ₹420
