SSC GD Constable (English) - 31 Jan 2023 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

The marked price of a product is Rs. 1000. If it is sold at 7 percent discount and the dealer earns 50 percent profit, then what is the cost price of the product?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs. 620

Given that

Marked price = Rs. 1000

Discount = 7%

Profit % = 50%

Formula used

Cost price/ Marked price = (100 - D)/(100 + P)

Calculation

Cost Price/1000 = (100 - 7)/(100 + 50)

Cost Price = (93/150) × 1000 = 620
