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 |
