Answer:
Let M.P. Of an article = ₹ 100
∴ Cost price = (100 × (100 – 25))/100
= ₹ (100 × 75)/100 = ₹ 75
Discount = 15%
∴ S.P. = ₹ 100 – 15 = ₹85
But 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%
