Question 924478: If a shopkeeper sold a trouser at 44% profit after announcing two successive discounts of 10% and 20%.At what percentage did he mark the trouser above the cost price
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! p = profit %
s = sale price
c = cost
---
p = ((s - c)/c)*100
p = (s/c - 1)*100
44 = (s/c - 1)*100
44/100 = s/c - 1
44/100 + 1 = s/c
s/c = 0.44 + 1
s/c = 1.44
---
answer:
s/c % = 1.44 * 100
s/c % = 144 %
