A shopkeeper fixed the marked price of his radio to make a profit of 30 percentage. allowing rs 30 as a discount then the profit is rs 30. find the cost price

rs 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost price = x

At 30% profit; marked price of radio is 30% of x = (100% + 30%) = 130%x

Discount = rs 3%

Profit made = 30

Hence,

Marked price - discount = cost price + 30

130%x - 30 = x + 30

1.3x - 30 = x + 30

1.3x - x = 30 + 30

0.3x = 60

Divide both sides by 0.3

0.3x / 0.3 = 60/ 0.3

x =

1.3x / 1.3 = 60 / 1.3

x = 200

Hence, cost price = rs 200
