Answer 1

Discount is calculated on Marked Price..

So, let X be marked price..

Then Selling Price(SP) will be :

$x - (x\times\frac{15}{100}) = x - 0.15x\\</p><p>= \:x(1-0.15) = 0.85x \\=>\:0.85x = 2975\\ So, x = (2975/0.85) = 3500.$

So, Marked Price = ₹ 3500

Again, M.P. is 40% above Cost Price..

$So, \: M.P. = C.P. + (C.P.\times\frac{40}{100}) \\= CP + 0.4CP = 1.4 CP\\</p><p>Or,\: CP = (3500/1.4) = 2500$

So, Cost Price = ₹ 2500

Again, Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

Or, Profit = (2975-2500) = ₹475

So, Profit = ₹475/-
