Explanation

After 15% discount, you pay 85%

85% of Marked Price = 3400

Marked Price = 3400 / 0.85 = 3400 / (85/100) = 3400 x 100 / 85

= 4000

Explanation

Let original allowance = 100

1. Increased by 20%

100 + 20% of 100 = 120

2. Reduced by 10% of the increased amount

10% of 120 = 12

120 - 12 = 108

Final = 108

Overall change = +8% from original.

i.e. a net increase of 8%.

Explanation

Given:

Increment in number = 20% of the number

Decrement in number = 20% of the new number

Concept used:

Net increase or decrease percent = {(Original number or Final number) - (Final number or original number) ÷ Original number} × 100

Calculation:

Let the original number be 100

When the number is increased by 20%

New Number = 100 + 20% of 100

⇒ 100 + 20

⇒ 120

Now, the number is decreased by 20%

Final number = New number – 20% of new number

⇒ 120 – 20% of 120

⇒ 120 – 24

⇒ 96

∴ Net Decrease in percentage = { (100 – 96) / 100} × 100

⇒ {4/100} × 100

⇒ 4%

∴ The net decrease percentage is 4%.

Explanation

Total Cost:

20 kg x 8.50 = 170

35 kg x 8.75 = 306.25

Total = 170 + 306.25 = 476.25 for 55 kg

Cost per kg = 476.25 / 55 = 8.66 Rs

To make 40% profit, selling price = cost x 1.4

Selling price = 8.66 x 1.4 = 12.12 to 12.13 Rs per kg
