A restaurant sells its meals which costs Rs. 120 to make at 20% profit. Online delivery apps charges 20% of the sales as commission. In case any offer is launched by the app, 50% of the cost needs to be borne by the restaurant. If the app offers 10% discount, how much he should mark the meals so that he earns same profit? (in rupees) Correct Answer 192

Let the marked price be Rs. x

So if he has sold at the price, commission to the app = 20/100 × x = 0.2x

Share of the restaurant = x – 0.2x

⇒ 0.8x

The app offers 10% discount

Cost of discount = 10/100 × x = 0.1x

50% to borne by restaurant

0.05x to be borne by restaurant

Net pay to restaurant = 0.8x – 0.05x

⇒ 0.75x

Selling price = Cost price × (100 + profit%)/100

⇒ 120 × (100 + 20) /100

⇒ 144

0.75x = 144

x = 144/0.75 = Rs. 192

∴ Required answer is Rs. 192.
