Answer»

Let the marked price be RS. x

As per the given data,

Discount = 20% of x = 20x/100 = x/5

We KNOW that,

Selling price = Marked price – Discount

⇒ 2400 = x – (x/5)

⇒ 2400 = 4x/5

⇒ x = 12000/4 = Rs. 3000

∴ Marked price = Rs. 3000

To find the selling price when the discount = 25%

Discount = 25/100 × 3000 = Rs. 750

Selling price = 3000 – 750 = Rs. 2250

∴ Selling price of an article when the discount is 25% is Rs. 2250
