Let the CP be Rs 100.
Hence, SP = 100 + 17% of 100 = Rs. 117.
If the marked price be Rs. X, then
90% of X = 117
⇒ $(X = \frac{{117 \times 100}}{{90}}\;)$ = Rs. 130
Hence, required ratio = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
Hence, SP = 100 + 17% of 100 = Rs. 117.
If the marked price be Rs. X, then
90% of X = 117
⇒ $(X = \frac{{117 \times 100}}{{90}}\;)$ = Rs. 130
Hence, required ratio = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
