if the cost prize 1200 and if the item sold at a discount of 20% the profit is 25% what is the final amount?

Answer 1

If an item is bought at a cost price of 1200, presumably the profit would be added at the time of purchase. The selling price at 25% would be 1200 x 1.25 = 1500. It is then discounted by 20%. 1500 x .8 = 1200. Therefore, the cost price and the final selling price are the same. Not a very good way of doing business. Maybe a clearance sale.

Answer 2

$1200 X .80 = $960 X .25 = $240 is the profit and final price $720. OR

$1200 X .95 = 1140 If the 20% was part of the 25% profit.

Answer 3

Let the Cost Price be Rs. x . Profit % = 20% Profit = 20/100 * x = x/5 Selling Price = x + x/5 = (5x + x)/5 = 6x/5 According to the condition of the given question, 6x/5 = 1200 => x = 1200 * 5/6 => x = 1000 So,Cost Price = Rs. 1000

Answer 4

Your question is difficult to understand - you must be an exam writer! Anyway.....

1200 minus 20% discount = 960

A 25% profit on 960 means the final amount is 768

Answer 5

I dont get what you mean.

You are asking how much is the discounted price that is after the mark up of 25% and 20% discount?

Well,

Let x = 1200
Selling Price= 1200 + 25%x
Selling Price or SP = 1500

Then, deduct the sales discount of 20%
Discounted Price = SP - 20%SP
Discounted Price = 1200

Therefore, the discounted price is equal to the cost price.

Answer 6

Not sure I am reading the question correctly.

the profit is 25% - of 1200 = 300
discounting the profit 20% of 300 = 60

1200 - 60 = 1140 is the final answer??

Answer 7

1740

Answer 8

1500*1.25
