A shopkeeper allows a discount of 20% to his customers and still gains 25%. Find theMarked price of an article which costs 600 to the shopkeeper.

Answer»

P = P % * CP / 100

P = 25 * 600 / 100

P = Rs . 150

SP = CP + P

SP = 600 + 150

SP = Rs . 750

D % = 20 %

MP = ( 100 * SP ) / ( 100 - D % )

MP = ( 100 * 750 ) / ( 100 - 20 )

MP = 100 * 750 / 80

MP = Rs . 937.5
