Answer 2

Answer:

Profit percentage is 6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

M.P of article = Rs.5000

Let Cost Price be RS.X

∴ M.P = X+ 25% of C.P

 5000 =X+(25/100)×X

 5000= X+(X/4)

5000=(4X+X)/4

5000×4=5X

20000/5=X

  X=4000

Discount =15%

Amount of discount= 15% of M.P

                                =(15/100) ×5000

                               = Rs.750

S.P= M.P - Discount

     =5000-750 =Rs.4250

Profit = S.P-C.P

         = 4250- 4000 =Rs.250

% profit= (profit/C.P)×100

            =(250/4000)×100

           = 25/4=6.25%
