Answer:

l know this much only Given that, marked price of article is Rs.500

Discount = 5 %

Profit = 25 %

To find: cost price of article

Let us first find the selling price

Selling price = Marked price - 5 % discount on marked price

Selling price = 500 - 5 % discount on 500

Selling price = 500 - \frac{5}{100} \times 500 = 500 - 25 = 475Sellingprice=500−

100

5

×500=500−25=475

Thus selling price is Rs 475

Finding cost price:

cost \: price= \frac{100}{100 + profit} \times spcostprice=

100+profit

100

×sp

\begin{gathered}cost \: price = \frac{100}{100 + 25} \times 475\\\\cost \: price = \frac{100}{125} \times 475\\\\cost \: price = 380\end{gathered}

costprice=

100+25

100

×475

costprice=

125

100

×475

costprice=380
