1) A jeweller allows a discount of 16% to his customers and still gains 20%. Find the marked price of a ring which costs the jeweller 1190.
2) After allowing a discount of 10% on the marked price, a trader still makes a gain of 17%. By what per cent is the marked price above the cost price?

[tex]\qquad \:\boxed{\begin{aligned}& \qquad \:\sf \:(1). \: Marked \: price \: of \: ring\: = \: 1700 \qquad \: \\ \\& \qquad \:\sf \:(2). \: \% \: age \: above \: the \: cost \: price \: = \: 30 \: \% \end{aligned}} \qquad \: \\ \\ [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{Solution-1}}[/tex]
Given that,
Cost price of a ring = 1190
Gain % = 20
We know,
[tex]\sf \: Selling \: price = \dfrac{(100 + Gain\%) \times Cost \: price}{100} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Selling \: price = \dfrac{(100 + 20) \times 1190}{100} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Selling \: price = \dfrac{120 \times 119}{10} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Selling \: price = 12 \times 119 \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies \sf \: Selling \: price = 1428 \\ \\ [/tex]
Now,
[tex] \sf \: Selling \: price \: of \: ring = 1428 \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Discount\% = 16 \\ \\ [/tex]
We know,
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: \dfrac{Selling \: price \times 100}{100 - Discount\%} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: \dfrac{1428 \times 100}{100 - 16} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: \dfrac{1428 \times 100}{84} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: 17 \times 100 \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies \sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: 1700 \\ \\ [/tex]
Hence,
[tex]\sf\implies \sf \: Marked \: price \: of \: ring\: = \: 1700 \\ \\ [/tex]

[tex]\large\underline{\sf{Solution-2}}[/tex]
Let assume that
Cost price of an article be Rs 100
Gain % = 17
We know,
[tex]\sf \: Selling \: price = \dfrac{(100 + Gain\%) \times Cost \: price}{100} \\ \\ [/tex]
So, on substituting the values, we get
[tex]\sf \: Selling \: price = \dfrac{(100 + 17) \times 100}{100} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies \sf \: Selling \: price \: = \: 117 \\ \\ [/tex]
Now, we have
[tex]\sf \: Selling \: price \: of \: an \: article \: = \: Rs \: 117 \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Discount\% = 10 \\ \\ [/tex]
We know,
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: \dfrac{Selling \: price \times 100}{100 - Discount\%} \\ \\ [/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: \dfrac{117 \times 100}{100 - 10} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: \dfrac{117 \times 100}{90} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: \dfrac{117 \times 10}{9} \\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: 13 \times 10\\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies \sf \: Marked \: price \: = \: Rs \: 130\\ \\ [/tex]
So, we have now
[tex]\sf \: Cost \: price \: of \: an \: article \: = \: Rs \: 100 \\ \\ [/tex]
and
[tex]\sf \: Marked \: price \: of \: an \: article \: = \: Rs \: 130 \\ \\ [/tex]
So,
[tex]\sf \: \% \: age \: above \: the \: cost \: price \: = \: \dfrac{130 - 100}{100} \times 100 \%\\ \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies \sf \: \% \: age \: above \: the \: cost \: price \: = \: 30 \: \% \\ \\ [/tex]
Answer:
(1) 1700 Marked price
(2) Marked price is 30% above the cost price
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question first jeweller allows a discount of 16% but still he gains 20% .
I m using short trick.
Using fraction mathod, first make ratio of percentages.
[tex] \rightarrow \boxed{ 16 \% \: = \frac{4}{25} } \\ \sf means \: 4 \: unit \: discount \: on \: 25 \: units \\ \boxed{ 20\% = \frac{1}{5} } \\ \sf \: means \: 1 \: unit \: profit \: on \: 5 \: unit \: [/tex]
[tex] \rightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: cp \: \: \: \: \: \: sp \: \: \: \: \: mp \: \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 21 \: \: \: \: 25 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 5 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 6 \: [/tex]
now we know that SP is constant, hence make sp equal
CP : SP : MP = 35 : 42 : 50
Given cost price, 35 units = 1190 ₹ , 1 unit = 34₹
MP = 50 unit = 50×34 = ₹ 1700 is marked price.
