The marked price of a radio is 25 % above the selling price and the cost price is
30 % less than its marked price. Find the discount percent and gain percent​


Sagot :

Answer:

mp=sp+25%ofsp=1.25sp

mp=1.25sp

sp=1/1.25×mp=0.8mp

cp=mp-30%ofmp=0.7mp

discount=mp-sp=mp-0.8mp=0.2mp

  1. discount %=discount/mp×100%=0.2mp/mp×100%=20%
  2. profit=sp-cp=0.8mp-0.7mp=0.1mp
  3. profit%=profit/cp×100%=0.1mp/0.7mp×100%=0.1×100/0.7%=10/0.7%=14.28%

Discount percent is 20%, Gain percent is 14.2%.

What is discount percent?

Percentage discount is a discount that is given to a product or service that is given as an amount per hundred.

Discount percent = [tex]\frac{Marked price - Selling price}{Marked price}[/tex]

What is gain percent?

Percentage Gain means to express the profit or the gain in the form of percentages.

Gain percent = [tex]\frac{Selling price -Cost price}{Cost price}[/tex]

Given

Marked price of a radio is 25 % above the selling price

Cost price is 30 % less than its marked price

Let selling price be x, then the marked price be 1.25x.

Cost price = 1.25 × (1 - 30%)

= 0.875x

Discount percent = [tex]\frac{Marked price - Selling price}{Marked price}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1.25x-x}{1.25x}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{0.25}{1.25}[/tex]

= 20%

Gain percent = [tex]\frac{Selling price -Cost price}{Cost price}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{x-0.875x}{0.875x}[/tex]

= 14.2%

Thus, Discount percent is 20%, Gain percent is 14.2%.
