Answer 2

Answer:

Purchase price is 2500 then mark price will be

130/100x 2500 (bcoz mark price is 30 % more than the purchase price)

130x25 = 3250

Mark price of article is 3250O RS

Now 10 % discount is given

also we know that discount always works on mark price so

90/100x3250 = 2925 RS

now profit on the article is

2925-2500 = 425 RS

now profit %age is

425/2500x100

= 17% profit
