Answer 1

hope this will helps u alot

Answer 2

Let the cost price be x.

Find the price after markup:

Markup = 30% x = 0.3x

Price after markup = x + 0.3x = 1.3x

Find the price after discount:

discount = 25% (1.3x) = 0.25(1.3x) = 0.364x

Price after discount = 1.3x - 0.364x = 0.936x

Find profit / loss:

Since cost price is more than selling price ⇒ it is a loss

Loss = x - 0.936x = 0.064x

Loss Percentage = (0.064x / x ) x 100 = 6.4%

Answer: The loss is 6.4%
