In the following line graphs, the first line graph shows the marked up price with respect to the cost price of the shoes and the second line graph shows the discount percentage given on the marked up price with the help of the given information answer the following questions.
Which shoe company makes the highest profit, if the C.P. is INR 500 of each shoe?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
C.P. of Puma shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Puma shoe is 150% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 750
Discount given is 25% on the marked price
⇒S.P. = 750 – 25% of 750
⇒S.P. = 750 – 187.5
⇒S.P. = INR 562.5
⇒Gain on Puma shoe = INR 62.5
C.P. of Nike shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Nike shoe is 200% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 1000
Discount given is 45% on the marked price
⇒S.P. = 1000 – 45% of 1000
⇒S.P. = 1000 – 450
⇒S.P. = INR 550
⇒Gain on Nike shoe = INR 50
C.P. of Adidas shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Adidas shoe is 160% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 800
Discount given is 50% on the marked price
⇒S.P. = 800 – 50% of 800
⇒S.P. = 800 – 400
⇒S.P. = INR 400
⇒Loss on Adidas shoe = INR 100
C.P. of Reebok shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Reebok shoe is 180% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 900
Discount given is 60% on the marked price
⇒ S.P. = 900 – 60% of 900
⇒ S.P. = 900 – 540
⇒S.P. = INR 360
⇒Loss on Reebok shoe = INR 140
C.P. of Bata shoe = INR 500
Marked up price of Bata shoe is 125% of the cost price
⇒M.P. = INR 625
Discount given is 10% on the marked price
⇒S.P. = 625 – 10% of 625
⇒S.P. = 625 – 62.5
⇒S.P. = INR 562.5
Now, Gain = 562.5 – 500
⇒ Gain on Bata shoe = INR 62.5
Hence, Bata and Puma made the highest gain.
