A seller 25%
discount on an
article,
he still gets 25% profit.
If CP is RS 1440, find marked
price of the
article.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let MP = X

CP = 1440

SP = 1440 + 25% of 1440 = Rs. 1800

SP = MP - 25% of MP

SP = X - 25% of 100

SP = X - 0.25X

1800 = 0.75X

X = 2400

MP = Rs. 2400

Short-Cut

Let the marked price = Rs. x

Hence,

$$\frac{{{\text{75}} \times {\text{x}}}}{{100}} = 1440 \times \frac{{125}}{{100}}$$

⇒ $$\frac{{1440 \times 125}}{{75}}$$  = Rs. 2400
