Answer 2

Answer:

he cost price of the article will be 0.64 x where x denotes the marked price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the marked price of the article be x.

We have a discount of 20 %.

Selling price = x - 20 % x

Selling price = x - 0.2 x

Selling price = 0.8 x

Also, it is given that the profit percentage is 25 %.

ATQ:

Let cost price be y

y + 25 % y = 0.8 x

y + 0.25 y = 0.8 x

1.25 y = 0.8 x

y = 0.8 x / 1.25

y = 0.64 x

Therefore, we get that the cost price of the article will be 0.64 x where x denotes the marked price.
