Answer 1

hye

======================================

let the cost price be 100

A dealer marks her good at 125% of cost price and then allows of 4%

=>125% of c.p

=>125 *100/100

=>125 rs

he marked the prcie as 125

now he agained reduced 4% from 125

=> 4 *125/100

=>  5 rs

=>125 - 5

=>120

so the final price was 120 rs

c.p = 100 and s.p = 120

=>gain = s.p - c.p

 =>120 - 100

=>20 rs


gain % = 20 *100/100

=>20 %gain

Answer 2

Let the CP of the be x.

X* 125/100
Marked price = x + (125x/100 ) = Rs 2.25 x
Discount = 4%
Selling price = Marked price - Discount
====================================
Discount = 4% of 2.25x = 2.25x × 4/100 =0.09x
SP = 2.25x - 0.09x
SP = Rs 2.16x
====================================
SP is more than CP, so there is a profit.

Profit = SP - CP
= 2.16x - x
= 1.16x
====================================
Profit percentage = (Profit / CP) x 100

=> (1.16x/x) ×100

=> 116 % Ans
