Question

The marked price of a television set is ₹35,000. A shopkeeper allows a discount of 22%and gets a profit of 75%. What is the cost price of the television set ?

A.

₹15,600

B.

₹15,570

C.

₹15,662

D.

₹15,714

Correct option is A

Given:
Marked Price (MP) = ₹35,000
Discount = 22%
Profit = 75%
Formula Used:
Selling Price (SP) = MP×(1Discount%100)MP × (1 - \frac{Discount \%}{100})​​
Cost Price (CP) = SP1+Profit%100 \frac{SP}{1 + \frac{Profit \%}{100}}​​
Solution:
SP = 35000 × (122100) (1 - \frac{22}{100})​​
SP = 35000 × 78100\frac{78}{100}​​
SP = 27300
CP = 273001+75100 \frac{27300}{1 + \frac{75}{100}}​​

CP = 273001.75 \frac{27300}{1.75}​​

CP = 15600
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (a)
