Question

An article was purchased for $\text{Rs}5,600$. Its price was marked up by $12\%.$ It was sold at a $5\%$ discount on the marked price. The marked price of the article will be :

• A. $\text{Rs}6,207$
• B. $\text{Rs}6,242$
• C. $\text{Rs}6,292$
• D. $\text{Rs}6,272$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\text{Rs}6,272$

Bought price is $Rs.5600$

Marked price is $12\%$ more than purchased price.

Discount$=5\%$

Hence,

Marked price$=5600+\frac{12}{100}\times 5600=5600+672=Rs.6272$
