Answer:
man marks the price of his articles at 25% more than C..P
Let cost price (CP) of article be = ₹100
25% of 100 = ₹25
Thus he marks it's price = ₹100 + ₹25 = ₹125
The man then allows 15 percent discount on marked price
15% discount on ₹125
= 15/100 × 125
= 75/4
= ₹18.75
Discount is ₹18.75
Selling price of article = ₹125 –₹18.75
Selling Price of article = ₹106.25
Profit = Sale price - Cost price
Profit = ₹106.25 – ₹100 = ₹6.25
Profit % = Profit/Cost price × 100
Profit % = ₹6.25/₹100 × 100
Profit % = 6.25%
Answer : his percentage profit on sale of articles is 6.25%

Answer:Let M.P. Of an article = ₹ 100∴ Cost price = (100 × (100 – 25))/100= ₹ (100 × 75)/100 = ₹ 75Discount = 15%∴ S.P. = ₹ 100 – 15 = ₹85But cost price = ₹2400(i) ∴ Marked price = ₹2400 × (100/75)= ₹ 32 × 100 = ₹3200(ii) And S.P. = ₹ (3200 × 85)/100 = ₹2720(iii) Profit = S.P. – C.P. = ₹2720 – 2400 = ₹320∴ Profit % = (Profit ×100)/C.P. = (320 × 100)/2400= 40/3% = 13. 1/3%I hope my answer is correct. and keep it up.!!!!!Have a nice day and good morning
