Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Selling price after discount = Rs. 22,352
Shopkeeper's gain = 25%
Concept:
Marked price = Selling price/(1 - discount%)
Cost price = Selling price/(1 + gain%)
Solution:
⇒ Marked price = 22,352/(1 - 0.12) = Rs. 25,400
⇒ Cost price = Marked price/(1 + 0.25) = Rs. 20,320
Therefore, the cost price of the mobile phone is Rs. 20,320.
