marked price
​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is 25% below marked price. Let the marked price be 'x'. Hence, 1) Rs. 800, 2) Rs.

Answer 2

Since we have given that

Cost price = Rs. 600

It is 25% below marked price.

Let the marked price be 'x'.

So, Marked price would be

x-0.25x=6000.75x=60

{600}{0.75}x=800

x−0.25x=600

0.75x=600

x=

0.75

600

x=800

And discount % = 15%

So, Selling price would be

800-0.15\times 800=800-120=680800−0.15×800=800−120=680

Hence, 1) Rs. 800, 2) Rs. 680
