Question

what price should A shopkeeper mark on his article which cost him rupees 2000 so as to gain 5% after allowing a discount of 25%

Answer 1

CP of the article = Rs.2000

To get a 5% overall profit, the final SP should be Rs. 2100 (post-discount).

So, the marked price has to be Rs. 2800 so that a discount of 25% (700) can be given to get the SP of Rs. 2100
