A shopkeeper allows 20% off on the marked price of goods and still gets a profit of 25%. What is the actual cost to him of an article marked Rs 500?

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

\[\text { Given }, \]

\[\text { MP of an article = Rs } . 500\]

\[\text { Discount = 20 % } \]

\[\text { Therefore, Discount = 20 % of } 500\]

\[ = 0 . 20 \times 500\]

\[ = 100\]

\[\text { So, SP = MP - Discount }\]

\[ =\text {  Rs } . (500 - 100)\]

\[ = \text { Rs } . 400\]

\[\text { CP } = \left[ \frac{100}{\left( 100 +\text {  Gain % } \right)} \times\text {  SP } \right]\]

\[ = \left[ \frac{100}{\left( 100 + 25 \right)} \times 400 \right]\]

\[ = \frac{40000}{125}\]

\[ = Rs . 320\]

\[\text { Thus, the actual cost of the article is Rs } . 320 .\]
