Answer»

Let the cost price be Rs. 100

Gain REQUIRED = 15% 

∴ Selling price = Rs. 115 

Let the MARKED price be Rs. X 

Then, discount = 20% of Rs. x

⇒ Rs. (x × 20/100) = Rs. x/5

∴ selling price = (Marked Price) - (discount) 

⇒ Rs. {x - (x/5)} = Rs. 4x/5

∴ 4x/5 = 115 

⇒ x = {115 × (5/4)} = 143.75 ≈ 144 

∴ Marked price = Rs. 144 

Hence, the marked price is 44% above cost price.
