the price of the book after discount=21500
the discount =25% =1/4
the discount on the price =21500×1/4=5375
printed price=21500+5375=26875
the cost price =21500-2000=19500
the discount =25% =1/4
the discount on the price =21500×1/4=5375
printed price=21500+5375=26875
the cost price =21500-2000=19500

Cost price of a book = CP
Marked price = MP (printed price)
Discount on MP = 25% = 25 * MP/100 = MP/4
Sale price = SP = MP - MP/4 = 3/4 * MP
Given sale price = 21,500 = 3/4 * MP
MP = 86,000/3 = 28,666 2/3 (printed price)
Actual Profit earned = 2, 000
Sale price = 21, 500
Cost price = 21, 500 - 2, 000 = 19, 500.
