Go to Discussion
Solution
Profit & Discount Problem: Marked Price vs Cost Price
Given:
- Cash Discount = 20%
- Profit = 11.11% (i.e., 1/9 of Cost Price)
Step-by-Step:
- Assume Cost Price = ₹100
- Then Selling Price = ₹111.11
- SP = 80% of Marked Price ⇒ MP = (111.11 × 100) / 80 = ₹138.89
- Markup = ₹138.89 − ₹100 = ₹38.89
✅ Final Answer: The trader marks the goods 38.89% above the cost price.

Solution
Share Market Math: Net Profit with Brokerage
Buying:
- 100 shares at ₹50 each = ₹5,000
- Brokerage (2%) = ₹100
- Total Cost Price = ₹5,100
Selling:
- 100 shares at ₹55 each = ₹5,500
- Brokerage (2%) = ₹110
- Net Selling Price = ₹5,390
Profit:
- Profit = ₹5,390 − ₹5,100 = ₹290
- Profit % = (290 / 5100) × 100 ≈ 5.69%
✅ Final Answer: Net profit percentage is 5.69%
