Answer:
The price of article is marked at 25 % above CP. If it is at the profit of Rs 125 after allowing 15 % discount, what will be its selling price?
Let the cost price be 100x
Marked price = 125x
15% discount , sale price = 0.85*125x = 106.25x
Profit = 6.25x
6.25x = Rs 125
106.25x = ?
106.25 /6.25 x 125 = Rs 2125 ANSWER
CHECK
Profit = Rs 125
Cost = Rs 2000
Marked price = 2000x 1.25= Rs 2500
Less 15% discount = 2500*0.85 = Rs2125
