Answer 1

Answer:

13 1/3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

If the discount given on an article is  decreased from 25% to 15%, then find the  percentage increase in its selling price.

Discount will be given on MRP

(100-Discount)%*MRP=SP

(100-25)% on MRP=SP1---(1)

(100-15)%on MRP=SP2----(2)

by dividing Eq(1) by Eq(2)

75%/85%=SP1/SP2

SP1/SP2=15/17

increase in percentage is

=Difference/SP1*100

=2/15*100

=40/3

=13 1/3
