A: 4000 B: 4200
C: 3950 D: 4500
Solution:
Let t marked price of a cycle be P.
Then, the raised price = P + 5% of P = P + 5P/100 = 21P/20
Sales tax = 12% of P = 12/100 P = 3/25 P
Therefore, the price payable = 21P/20 + 3P/25 = 105P + 12P/100 = 117P/100
According to the problem we get, 117P/100 = $4680
P = $4680 × 100/117
= $4000
Therefore, the market price of the cycle is $4000.

The Ratio of two selling prices is
A: 51: 52 B: 52: 53
C: 53: 54 D: 54: 55
Answer:

Let the cost price (CP) of the article be X rs.
For 4% profit, SP=CP+4% of CP=1.04X
For 6% profit, SP=CP+6% of CP=1.06X
