The marked price of mustard oil is 25% more than its cost price. At what percentage less than the marked price should it be sold to have no profit and no loss?
15%
20%
18%
22%
To solve this, let's break it down step by step:
- Original Cost Price: Let's assume the cost price of the mustard oil is ?100.
- Marked Price: Since the marked price is 25% more than the cost price, it becomes ?125.
- Selling Price: For no profit, no loss, the selling price should match the original cost price, which is ?100.
- Percentage Reduction Needed:
- The required reduction from the marked price is ?125 - ?100 = ?25.
- Calculate the percentage reduction: (?25/?125)×100=20.
So, the mustard oil should be sold at 20% less than the marked price to have no profit and no loss.
- Option 1: 15% - This would still keep the selling price above the cost price.
- Option 2: 20% - This rightly brings the selling price to the cost price.
- Option 3: 18% - This results in selling above the cost price.
- Option 4: 22% - The price would go below the cost price, resulting in a loss.
Option 2: 20%
