Question : The price of a treadmill is marked at INR 1,250. A shopkeeper earns a profit of 14% after allowing a discount of 14% on the marked price. Find the cost price (to the nearest rupee) of the treadmill.
Option 1: INR 845
Option 2: INR 840
Option 3: INR 1,043
Option 4: INR 943
Correct Answer: INR 943
Solution : Marked price = INR 1,250 Discount = 14% of 1250 = INR 175 Selling price = marked price – discount = 1250 – 175 = INR 1075 Let $x$ be the cost price. Profit = 14% of $x = 0.14 x$ Selling price = cost price + profit ⇒ 1075 = $x+0.14x = 1.14x$ ⇒ $x = \frac{1075}{1.14}$ ⇒ $x=$ 942.98 ~ 943 Hence, the correct answer is INR 943.
