SSC CHSL - 04 Aug 2023 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q67

The marked price of a toy car is 2600. The shopkeeper gives a discount of 4% and still makes a profit of 28%. Find the cost price.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs. 1950.

SP = MP × (100 − discount) ÷ 100

SP = 2600 × (100 − 4) ÷ 100 = 2,496

CP = SP × 100 ÷ (100 + profit%)

CP = 2,496 × 100 ÷ (100 + 28) = 1,950
