Answer 1

Answer:

hope it will help you!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

let cost price is 100rs

then marked price will be:175rs

so to make no profit or loss the product should be sold at 100rs

now discount:175-100=75rs

so % discount:(75/175)x100=42.85%

plzz mark me as brain list.....

Answer 2

Let, the Cost price be 100 Rs.

Then Market Price will be : 175 Rs.

Now, if he neither want to gain profit nor loss the selling price should be 100 Rs.

Let, Discount be x then,

According to the question :

$175 \times \frac{(100 - x)}{100} = 100 \\ \\ = > (100 - x) = \frac{100 \times 100}{175} \\ \\ = > x = 100 - \frac{400}{7} \\ \\ = > x = \frac{700 - 400}{7} \\ \\ = > x = \frac{300}{7} = 42.85$

So, the discount will be 42.85% so that he ends up selling at no profit or no loss.
