Question

Answer 1

Hello friend...

Let's consider,

x=original price

y=printed price

Solution-

Initially-

Discounted price=60% ×printed price =60%y

Discounted price=80% ×original price=80%x

Hence 60%y=80%x

x=75%y

Finally-

Discounted price=75% ×printed price=75%y

Discounted price=x

Hence finally discounted price will be equal to original price without any profit/loss.
