a) 50%
b) 100%
c) 200%
d) 400%
View Answer
Explanation: The selling price is equal to the selling price.
The marked price = selling price + the discount = twice the selling price
Marked price is 2 * the selling price = 200% of the selling price
2. If the marked price of an article is 20% more than the cost price and there is no profit or loss, find the discount in terms of the marked price.
a) 16.67%
b) 16%
c) 15.67%
d) 15%
View Answer
Explanation: Let the cost price be x.
The cost price = the selling price
The marked price = 20% more than the cost price
The marked price = x + 20% of x = 1.2x
The discount = 1.2x – x = 0.2x
The discount in terms of the marked price = 0.2x / 1.2x * 100 = 16.67%
3. The marked price of an article is 6500 rupees. Find the selling price if the discount is 20% of the selling price.
a) 5415 rupees
b) 5416 rupees
c) 5417 rupees
d) 5146 rupees
View Answer
Explanation: The marked price = 6500 rupees
Let the selling price be x.
The discount is 20% of x = 0.2x
The marked price = selling price + discount = x + 0.2x = 1.2x
6500 = 1.2x
The selling price = 6500 / 1.2x * x = 6500 / 1.2 = 5416.6 ≈ 5417 rupees
4. The selling price of an article is 35% of the discount. Find the ratio between the discount and the marked price.
a) 20 : 23
b) 20 : 25
c) 20 : 27
d) 20 : 29
View Answer
Explanation: Let the discount be x.
The selling price of the article = 35% of the discount
The selling price = 35% of x = 0.35x
The marked price = x + 0.35x = 1.35x
The ratio discount and marked price = x : 1.35x = 1 : 1.35 = 100 : 135 = 20 : 27
5. The marked price of an article is 5 times the discount. Find the ratio between the discount and the selling price.
a) 1 : 5
b) 5 : 1
c) 1 : 4
d) 4 : 1
View Answer
Explanation: Let the discount be x.
The marked price = 5 times the discount
The marked price = 5x
The selling price = 5x – x = 4x
The ratio between the discount and the selling price = x : 4x = 1 : 4
6. The ratio between the cost price and the discount is 2 : 7. Find the marked price if the selling price is 2100. There was no profit or loss during the transaction.
a) 7350
b) 2350
c) 8400
d) 9450
View Answer
Explanation: The selling price = the cost price as there is no profit or loss.
The cost price = 2100
The ratio between the cost price and the discount = 2 : 7
2 parts of the ratio = 2100
7 parts of the ratio = 2100 / 2 * 7 = 7350
The marked price = selling price + discount = 2100 + 7350 = 9450
7. The selling price of an article is 20% of the marked price. Find the selling price if the discount is 60 rupees.
a) 12 rupees
b) 15 rupees
c) 40 rupees
d) 120 rupees
View Answer
Explanation: Let the marked price be x.
The selling price = 20% of the marked price = 0.2x
The discount = x – 0.2x = 0.8x
0.8x = 60
The selling price = 0.2x = 60 / 8 * 2 = 15 rupees
8. The selling price of an article is 20% more than the discount. Find the marked price if the discount is 400 rupees.
a) 80 rupees
b) 800 rupees
c) 480 rupees
d) 880 rupees
View Answer
Explanation: The discount = 400 rupees
The selling price = 20% more than the selling price = 400 + 20% of 400 = 400 + 80 = 480 rupees
The marked price = 400 + 480 = 880 rupees
9. The marked price of an article is 1840 rupees. Find the discount percentage if the selling price is 30% more than the discount.
a) 34.43%
b) 43.74%
c) 43.47%
d) 43.34%
View Answer
Explanation: Let the discount be x.
The selling price = x + 30% of x = x + 0.3x = 1.3x
The marked price = 1840 rupees
The marked price in terms of x = 1.3x + x = 2.3x
2.3x = 1840 rupees
Discount = x = 1840 / 2.3 = 800 rupees
Discount percentage = 800 / 1840 * 100 = 43.47%
10. The marked price of an article is 7 times the selling price. Find the discount percentage.
a) 85.7%
b) 87.5%
c) 57.8%
d) 58.7%
View Answer
Explanation: Let the selling price be x.
Marked price = 7 times the selling price = 7x
The discount = 7x – x = 6x
The discount percentage = 6x / 7x * 100 = 85.71% ≈ 85.7%
