Question : A shopkeeper allows a discount of 15% on an article and still makes a profit of 20%. What does the shopkeeper pay for an article whose marked price is INR 7,200?
Option 1: INR 6,120
Option 2: INR 5,120
Option 3: INR 6,100
Option 4: INR 5,100
Correct Answer: INR 5,100
Solution : Marked price = INR 7,200 Profit = 20% Discount = 15% Formula used: $\frac{\text{Cost price}}{\text{Marked price}} = \frac{100 - \text{Discount}}{100 + \text{Profit}}$ Solution: Let the cost price be Rs. $x$. ⇒ $\frac{x}{7,200} = \frac{85}{120}$ ⇒ $x = \frac{7,200 × 85}{120}$ ⇒ $x =$ INR 5,100 So, the cost price of the article is INR 5,100. Hence, the correct answer is INR 5,100.
