Solutions
(1) d. 43.75%
Step 1 Let the cost price be 100.
Step 2 It is given that the dealer gains 15%.
SP = 100 + 15% of 100 = 100 + 15 = 115
Step 3 Let us assume that the MP is x.
Now, discount = 20% of x 20
=x? 100
x =
5
SP = M P - discount
( ) x
= x- 5
4x =
5
Step 4 But, SP = 115.
4x
= 115
5
5
x = 115 ?
= 143.75
4
M P = 143.75
Step 5
Hence, the marked price should be 43.75% above the cost price.

Step 1 According to the question, Kareem purchased 2880 tube-lights for his shop at 32 each. Cost Price, CP = 2880 ? 32 = 92160
Step 2 During transportation 576 tube-lights got damaged. Remaining tube-lights = 2880 - 576 = 2304
Step 3 He sold remaining 2304 tube-lights at price of 36 each. Selling price, SP = 2304 ? 36 = 82944
Step 4 Loss = CP - SP = 92160 - 82944 = 9216
Step 5
Loss ? 100 Loss % =
CP
9216 ? 100 =
92160
921600 =
92160 = 10
Step 6 Therefore, there is 10% loss.
