Answer 1

cp of an article=2400
marked price=2400+2400×25%
2400+600=3000
sp of an article=3000×85%
30×85=2550

Answer 2

Given :

CP = Rs 2400

_______________________________

Finding Marked price -

It is marked at 25% above the CP

MP = 2400 x 25/100 = 600

= 2400 + 600 = 3000

MP = Rs 3000.

________________________________

Finding discount -

given :

discount is 15%

MP = 3000

= 3000 x 15/100 = 450

Discount = 450

_______________________________

Finding selling price -

SP = MP - discount

SP = 3000 - 450 = 2550

SP is Rs 2550

$\bold{Answer: Selling \: price \: is \: Rs \: 2550}$
