Question

The cost price of a shirt is Rs.$900$. When it is sold at a discount of $10$%, a loss of $5$% is incurred. Find the marked price of the shirt.

• A. Rs.950
• B. Rs.1050
• C. Rs.930
• D. Rs.1020

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs.950

Cost price$=$Rs.$900$

Let the Selling price$x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{900}\times 100=95$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{95\times 900}{100}=95\times 9=$Rs.$855‬$

Let the marked price be $y$

$\Rightarrow y\times \frac{90}{100}=855$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{855\times 100}{90}=$Rs.$950$

$\therefore$ Market price$=$Rs.$950$
