Question

The marked price of an article is 25% above the selling price, and the cost price is 40% below the marked price.
Find the percentage of discount on the marked price and profit on the cost price.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose selling price is x

Marked Price = 1.25 x

Cost Price = 1.25 x - .4(1.25x)= 1.25x- .5x

Cost Price = .75x

Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

= x - 0.75x

=0.25x

Hence Profit is 25 %

Discount is 25 %

Answer 2

Answer:

p=25%

discount=25%            

Step-by-step explanation

Cost Price = 1.25 x - .4(1.25x)= 1.25x- .5x

Cost Price = .75x

S P = C+P

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

= x - 0.75x

=0.25x

the Profit is 25 %

Discount is 25 %
