A shopkeeper buys 200 pens at Rs. 12 each and sells 150 pens at Rs. 15 each and the remaining at Rs. 10 each. What is his profit or loss percentage? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
The marked prices of a shirt and a pair of trousers are in the ratio 1:2. The shopkeeper gives a 40% discount on the shirt. If the total discount on both is 30%, what is the discount percentage on the trousers?
Explanation:
Let Marked Price of shirt = x and trousers = 2x. Total Marked Price = 3x. Total discount = 30% of 3x = 0.9x. Discount on shirt = 40% of x = 0.4x. Discount on trousers = 0.9x - 0.4x = 0.5x. Percentage discount on trousers = (0.5x / 2x) * 100 = 25%.
