Answer»

Selling price of article = Rs. 660

Profit = 10%

Profit% = (SP - CP)/CP × 100

10 = (660-CP)/CP × 100

⇒CP = 660 × 100/110 = Rs. 600

Discount% = (MP - CP)/MP × 100

Let the marked price be Rs. X and discount is 25%

25 = (X - 600)/X × 100

(X - 600) = X/4

⇒ X = Rs. 800

Marked price = Rs. 800
