Correct Answer: Rs. 83
Solution : Marked price = Rs. 100 Discount = 10% of marked price = Rs. 10 ⇒ Selling price = 100 – 10 = Rs. 90 Also, profit = 8% of cost price So, the selling price – cost price = 8% of the cost price ⇒ The selling price = 108% of the cost price ⇒ 90 = 1.08 × cost price So, the cost price = $\frac{90}{1.08}$ = Rs. 83.333 ~ Rs. 83 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 83.
