Question

an article is sold at a discount of 25% and still there is a gain of 20% on it. find the marked price of the article if it costs 525?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 840

Step-by-step explanation:

s.p = 120% of 525 = 630 Rs

75%= 630 =>100%=100×630/75 = Rs 840

Market price= Rs 840

Answer 2

let the price of the article be x

so the seller sold the article for 25  percent discount which means 25 percent loss.

therefore during selling the price of the article will be

100-------------x

100-25----------?=========75------------?

?=75 x/100

=3/4 x

but still there is a 20 percent gain,so therefore the cost price of the article by the seller will be ,

100-------------3/4 x

100+20----------?

?=120//3/4 x /100

=160x/100

1.6x

it is given that ?=525

so,therefore

525=1.6x

x=525/1.6

=328.125
