Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Cost price of the article = ₹600

Let the Marked price (MP) be x

Cost price is 25% below the Marked price

$\sf CP = MP - \dfrac{25}{100}\times MP$

$\sf \dashrightarrow 600 = \dfrac{75}{100}\times MP$

$\sf \dashrightarrow MP = 600 \times \dfrac{100}{75}$

$\sf \dashrightarrow MP = 800$

$\sf \therefore \underline{Marked \: price = Rs.800}$

Discount = 15%

$\sf Discount = Discount\% \: of \: MP$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Discount = \dfrac{15}{100}\times 800$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Discount = Rs.120$

Selling price = Marked Price - Discount

⇢ SP = 800 - 120

⇢ SP = 680

$\sf \therefore \underline{Selling \: price = Rs.680}$

Profit = SP - CP

⇢ Profit = 680 - 600

⇢ Profit = Rs.80

$\sf \dashrightarrow Profit \% = \dfrac{Profit}{CP}\times 100$

$\sf \dashrightarrow Profit \% = \dfrac{80}{600}\times 100$

$\sf \therefore \underline{Profit \% = 13.33\%}$
