Solutions :-
Given :
Marked price = Rs 280
Discount = 20%
Profit = 20%
Find the Selling price :-
S.P = M.P - discount% of M.P
= 280 - 20% of 280
= 280 - 56
= 224
Find the cost price :-
C.P = (S.P × 100)/(100 + Profit)
= (224 × 100)/(100 + 20)
= 22400/120
= 186.66 approx.
Hence,
Cost Price = Rs 186.66
