Given, Discount = 25%
Discount = (MP × Discount %)/100
= (MP×25)/100 = Rs 25MP/100 SP = MP – Discount = (MP – 25MP/100) = (100MP – 25MP)/100 = 75MP/100
We know that the given profit = 50% Selling price = (100 + Gain %)/100 × CP = (100 + 50)/100 × CP = 150/100 × CP = 150CP/100
By equating both SP we get, 75MP/100 = 150CP/
100 75MP/150CP = 100/100 75MP/150CP = 1 (By cross multiplying)
CP/MP = 75/150 = 1/2 ∴
The ratio CP to MP = 1:2.
