Question

WHAT PRICE SHOULD A SHOP KEEPER MARK ON A MIXER GRINDER WHICH COSTS HIM 2000 RUPEES SO AS TO GAIN 5% AFTER ALLOWING A DISCOUNT OF 25% ?

Answer 1

25-05= 20 ok 
20% of 2000 
20/100 *2000
= 400
then , 
2000-400= 1600 ruoees

Answer 2

Let M.P be 'x'
C.P = 2000
DISCOUNT = 25 %
C.P = M.P - DISCOUNT %
2000= x - x*25/100
2000= x - x/4
2000= 3x/4
x= 2666.6
Hence, answer is 2666.6
