SP of each car is Rs. 404415, he gains 15% on first car and losses 15% on second car.
Correct Answer: 33.33
Correct Answer: 75%
Explanation:
Given,Let the cost price of single book be Rs. 100.
The cost price of (9 + 1) = 10 pair i.e. 20 books = Rs. (100 × 20) = Rs. 2000.He gets profit of 26%.
So, the selling price of 9 pair i.e. 18 books = Rs. 2000 × (126/100) = Rs. 2520
Then,the selling price of single book = Rs. 2520/18 = Rs. 140
He gives 20% discount on the marked price of a book.
That means, when the selling price is Rs. 80 then the marked price is Rs. 100.
?When the selling price of single book is Rs. 140, the marked price = Rs. 140 × (100/80) = Rs. 175
?The percentage increase in marked price from the cost price = (175 ?100)% = 75%
