Question

An agent makes a profit of $20\%$ even after a discount of $10\%$ discount on the advertised price. If he makes a profit of Rs. $900$ on the sale of a scooter, then the advertised price is

• A. Rs. $4500$
• B. Rs. $4000$
• C. Rs. $5000$
• D. Rs. $5050$

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs. $5000$

Let the advertise price be $x$ and discounted prices are $y$.

According to the question,

$20\%ofy=900$

$y=Rs.4500$

$10\%ofx=x-4500$

$x=Rs.5000$

Hence, the advertised price .$Rs.5000$.
