Q13 of 70 Page 13

A shopkeeper allows 23% commission in his advertised price and still makes a profit of 10%. If he gains Rs. 56 on one item, find his advertised price.

Let advertised price be X


Commission is 23% on advertised price


Selling price = …(i)


Given profit = 56


Profit % = 10



C.P. = 560


Profit = S.P. – C.P. = 56


S.P. = 560+56


S.P. = 616/-


From equation (i)




X = 800/-
