Question:−

A shopkeeper allows 20% discount on his marked price and still makes a profit of 25% on his cost price. What is the marked price of an article on which he makes a profit of ₹50.

Solution :−

25% = 50

100% =?

so,

actual cost of an article is= 50×100 / 25

= actual cost of ana article will be = 200₹

cost of artical to gain 20% = 200+50 = 250₹

Marked price is the price which we see on the tag so,

when the seller gave 20% discount on M.P after discounting it. 250 it should be 75%.

So,

→75% of M.P = 250

→ 3/4 +250

→3×62.4

→187.5
