Answer :

Mp=15000==>Sp= 15000*0.52= 7800.

Loss of 10% is there==>Cp= 7800/ 0.90= RS.8666.66

Profit of 30% = 6000*1.15=11266.66

Discount should be Rs2600

Discount % should be {2600/15000}*100

=17.3%

Last Answer : Let CP = 100,  48 % increase =>SP = 148 12 % discount in SP => ((148 x 12)/100) = 17.76 So 1st SP = (148 – 17.76) = 130.24  13 % discount in 1st SP ((130.24x13)/100) = 16.93 2nd SP = 130.24-16.93= 113.31 So finally CP = 100, SP = 113.31 => gain = 13.31%
