Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be = $ 100

Increased price = 100 * 30/100 = $30

Market price = 100 + 30 = $130

Discount amount = 10% of 130 = 10/100 * 130 = $ 13

Price after discount = 130 - 13 = $ 117

Gain = 117 - 100 = 17

Gain = 17%

A shopkeeper marks his goods at 30 percentabove the cost price and then gives a discountof 10 percent. Find his gain percent.
