((70x/100+80x/100+90x/100))/3=3600

X= Rs.4500

Therefore, marked price is 4500

Shop C offer 10% discount on item 1,

Hence, selling price of item C = 4500- 10% of 4500 = 4500 – 450 = Rs.4050

 Q.67) b

Marked price of item 2 is Rs. 3000

The selling price of item 2 in shop C = 3000 – 35% of 3000 = 3000 – 1050 = Rs. 1950

The selling price of item 2 in Shop B = 3000 – 25% of 3000 = 3000 – 750  = Rs.2250

The average selling price is Rs. 2200

Total selling price is 2200×3 = Rs.6600

Therefore, the selling price of Item 2 in shop A = 6600 – 1950-2250 = Rs.2400

Required discount price = (3000-2400)/3000×100=600/3000×100=20%

 Q.68) b

The discount rate of item 4 in shop A is 50% of the shop B, therefore the discount rate of item 4 in shop A is 15%

From the ratio

The discount rate of item 4 in shop C is 18%

Let the marked price of item 4 is x

The selling price of item 4 in shop A is 85%of x

The selling price of item 4 in shop C is 82% of x

The ratio becomes,

85x: 82x

3x = Rs.300

X = Rs.100

The selling price of item 4 in shop A is Rs.8500

The selling price of Item 4 in shop C is Rs.8200

The cost price of item 4 in shop A = 8500/170×100=Rs.5000

The cost price of item 4 in shop C = 8200/205×100=Rs.4000

Required difference = 5000- 4000 =Rs.1000

 Q.69) c

Let assume the marked price of item E is Rs.100

The selling price of Item 5 in shop A is 88% of 100 = Rs.88

The selling price of item 5 in shop B is 89% of 100 = Rs.89

The selling price of item 5 in shop C is 94% of 100 = Rs.94

The cost price of item 5 in shop A is = 88/110×100=Rs.80

Therefore, the profit of item 5 in shop B = 89-80 = Rs.9

The profit of item 5 in shop C = 94 – 80 = Rs.14

Required ratio = 9: 14

Q.70) The average selling price of item 3 in shop A and B is Rs.6000, the average selling price of item 3 in shop B and C is 6500, and the average selling price of item 3 in shop A and C is Rs.8000, then what is the discount rate of item 3 in shop B?

Q.70) d

The average selling price of item 3 in shop A and C is Rs.8000

Let marked price of item 3 be x.

((75x/100+85x/100))/2=8000

160x/100= 16000

X = Rs.10000

Let discount rate of Item 3 in shop C be y

The average selling price of item 3 in shop A and B is Rs.6000

75% of 10000 + y% of 10000 = 12000

y% of 10000 = 12000-7500

y% of 10000 = 4500

y = 45%

Discount rate  = 100-45 = 55%
