Question

Kabir buys an article with $25\%$ discount on its marked price. He makes a profit of $10\%$ by selling it at Rs. $660$. The marked price is ___________.

• A. Rs. $600$
• B. Rs. $700$
• C. Rs. $800$
• D. Rs. $685$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Rs. $800$

let the marked price is Rs. $x$

the price for which he bought $=(1-.25)\times x=0.75x$

he sells it at $660$ and makes a profit of $10\%$

$\frac{660-0.75x}{0.75x}=0.1$

$660-0.75x=0.075x$

$660=0.825x$

$x=800$
