Marks: +1, -0

An article is marked

27 \%

above its cost price. If

x \%

discount is allowed on the marked price and still there is a profit of

6.68 \%

, then what is the value of

x

Solution:

Let CP is ₹ 100 .
Marked price is

27 \%

more than CP.

{MP}=100 × \;{127}/{100}=₹ 127

According to the question,

100 ×(\;{100+6.68}/{100})=127 ×(\;{100-x}/{100})

⇒ \;\; 106.68=\;{127}/{100} ×(100-x)

⇒ \;\; 84=100-x

∴ \;\; x=16 \%
