Answer 2

Answer: 750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M.P = x

It is sold in 20% discount of x

So, it was sold in (100%-20%)=80% of x

he gets 25% (on 80%of x ) profit of= 150₹

25% of 80%(of x) = 150

25%×4=100%

150×4= 600. (25%=150₹)

Now,

80% of M.P = 600₹

Now,

If 80% of x = 600₹

Then ,

80 × X. = 600 × 100

X = 60000/80

X = 750₹
