Question

To gain $25\%$ after allowing a discount of $10\%$, the shopkeeper must mark the price of the article which costs him Rs. 360 as:

• A. Rs 500
• B. Rs 486
• C. Rs 450
• D. Rs 460

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs 500

Let the M.P be Rs. x
$125\%$ of cost price = Rs. 360 + Rs. 360 $\times$ $\left(\frac{25}{100}\right)$
= Rs. 450
$\left(\frac{90}{100}\right)$ $\times$ = 450
x = Rs. 500
