Question

After allowing 20% cash discount, a trader still earns a profit of 11.11%. How much above the cost price, the trader marks his goods?
🎥 Video solution / Text Solution of this question is given below:

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.
