Question
At what percentage above the C.P. must an article be marked so as to gain 33% after allowing a customer a discount of 5%?
Answer: Option B
 - Let C.P. = Rs. 100 Then, S.P. = Rs= 133.
Let marked price be Rs. x
Then, 95% of x = 133
= 95 x /100 = 133
= (133 x 100/95)=140
Marked price = 40% above C.P.
