Question 53

What was the cost price of the suitcase purchased by Richard?
I. Richard got 20% concession on the labeled price.
II. Richard sold the suitcase for Rs 2000 with 25% profit on the labeled price.

Solution

Here we have  to find the CP of a suitcase for Richard and M represent the labeled price

From Option I we see that he got discount of 20%on Marked Price. But since we do not know the MP it is not possible to determine CP for Richard

Using only Option II we see that we can we can obtain the profit in terms of marked price but not the cost price.

When we use the option I and II together we can determine CP and Profit in term of M and thus know the CP for Richard
