Question : A trader allows a 40% discount on his goods, but he loses 30% on them. Find the percentage of the marked price above the cost price.
Option 1: $15\frac{2}{3}\%$
Option 2: $15 \frac{1}{3} \%$
Option 3: $16 \frac{2}{3} \%$
Option 4: $16 \frac{1}{3} \%$
Correct Answer: $16 \frac{2}{3} \%$
Solution : Let the marked price (MP) be 100$x$ After a discount of 40%, the selling price = 60$x$ When a loss of 30% then, $\frac{70}{100}$ of cost price (CP) = 60$x$ ⇒ CP = $\frac{600x}{7}$ Difference in MP and CP = 100$x$ – $\frac{600x}{7}$
