Its urgent solve it plzzz

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

to know the marked price

4250 *100= 425000. then divide it by 85

marked price is 5000

cost price is 25% less than marked price

then CP is 5000-25% = 3750

profit = SP-CP

= 4250-3750

=500

Answer 2

Answer:

Gained by  6.25 %

Step-by-step explanation:

[1] The marked price is

4250  / 1  −  0.15  =  5000 Rs

[2] The cost price is

5000  / 1  +  0.25 =  4000 Rs

So, the shop gained  

4250  −  4000

=  250 Rs

by selling this article.

The percentage of the benefit is  

250  / 4000  * 100

= 6.25 %
