A dealer gives as much discount (in percent) as the markup(in percent) is above the cost price. What is the markup percentage when the loss in percentage when the loss in percentage be half of the percentage markup?Answer is 50%
let he mark up by x%

CP = 100
MP = (100 + x)
SP = (100 + x)*(100 - x)/100 = (100^2 - x^2)/100
loss = 100 - (100^2 - x^2)/100 = x/2

=> x^2 = 50x
=> x = 50


@maneeshp @naga25french @19rsb and i was pondering over it :banghead:

Bhaiyo, looking at the logic, i can safely assume that the options given in the book are wrong. Thanks :)

whats the logic?

how does zero fit the bill?

exactly my point..there must be some other logic to it
