A tradesman marks his goods 30% more than the cost price. If he allows a discount of 6 1/ 4 % then his gain per cent is?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let the C.P. be Rs. 100
Then, Marked price = Rs. 130
⇒ S.P. = (93³/₄ % of Rs. 130)
= Rs. (375/4 x 100 x 130)
= Rs. 975/8
= Rs. 121⁷/₈
∴ Required gain% = 21⁷/
