Question

Rajan purchased a purse at 25% discount on its marked price but sold it at the marked price. find the gain percent of rajan on this transaction.

Answer 1

Let the marked price be x:

discount of 25%, therefore purchase price is 75/100x = 0.75x
  
Profit = selling price -buying price (selling price = marked price)
          = x- 0.75x    
          =0.25x

gain % =  profit/ buying price(100)
         
            = 0.25/0.75(100)  =1/3(100)
      
            
            =33.3333%
