A tradesman gives 4% discount on the marked price and gives 1 article free for buying every 15 articles and thus gains 35%. By how much % more is the marked price above the cost price? ​ Give full explanation

Let the MP of 1 article = Rs 1

MP of 15 article = Rs 15

SP of (15+1) articles = 15 x 96/100

= Rs 14.40

CP of 16 article = 14.40/135 x 100

= Rs 32/3

CP of 1 article = 32/3x16

= Rs 2/3

Required % = 1/3 x 3/2 x 100

= 50

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1

its (2) option

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
