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
