Question
t what price should the Karan mark a sewing machine that costs him Rs. 1200.S0 that even after offering a 20% discount,he makes 25% profit?Rs.2025Rs.1900Rs.1675Rs.1875
Solution
First, let's calculate the cost price of the sewing machine after adding the profit of 25%.
The cost price of the sewing machine is Rs. 1200 and Karan wants to make a 25% profit on it.
So, the cost price after profit = 1200 + 25% of 1200 = 1200 + 300 = Rs. 1500
Now, Karan wants to offer a 20% discount on the marked price and still make a profit of 25%. So, the marked price should be such that even after deducting 20% discount, the price should be Rs. 1500.
Let's assume the marked price be x.
So, x - 20% of x = 1500 => x - 0.2x = 1500 => 0.8x = 1500 => x = 1500 / 0.8 => x = Rs. 1875
So, Karan should mark the sewing machine at Rs. 1875.
