Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.3200,Rs2700,40/3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price=2400

Cost price is 25% below it marked price

Marked price(1-25/100)=Cost price

Marked price(100+25/100)=2400

Marked price(75/100)=2400

Marked price=2400X100/75=Rs.3200

Selling price=Marked price- Discount

=3200-(3200X15/100)

3200-480

Rs.2720

Profit%=Profit/Cost price X 100%

=SP-CP X100%

2400

2720-2400/24

=320/24=40/3%
