Answer:

let the cost price of an article be -x

Market price = x+(25%of x)

= x+(25/100*x)

=x+(x/4)

=(4x+x) /4

=Rs 5x/4

discount= 15% of market price

=(15/100)*5x/4

=3/20*5x/4

=Rs 3x/16

profit =200Rs

According to Question

profit = selling price - cost price

profit = [marked price - discount] - cost price

= 200 = [ 5x/4 - 3x/16 ] -x

200 = 17x/16 - x

200 = x/16

=Rs 3200= x

marked price =5x/4

(5*3200)/4

=Rs 4000
