    A shopkeeper allows a discount of \[10%\] on the marked price. How much above the cost price must he mark his goods to gain\[8%\]?

    A)  \[20%\]                              

    B)                         \[100%\]           

    C)                         \[80%\]                              

    D)                         \[25%\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the C.P. be \[Rs.\,100\Rightarrow \] is \[Rs.\,108\]. Let the M.P. of the goods be Rs. x. Since discount of 10% is allowed on M.P. and sold at 8% gain, 90% of \[x=Rs.\,108\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=108\times \frac{100}{90}=Rs.\,120\] \[\therefore \] The goods must be marked at 20% above the C.P.
