Answer»

⇒ Let original price be = p and Sale be s, then Sale receipts = p × s

⇒ Price reduced by 25%, then NEW Price = x - 25% of p

⇒ new Price = 0.75p

⇒ sale INCREASED by 80%, new sale = s + 80% 0f s

⇒ new sale = 1.80s

⇒ New sale receipt = 0.75p × 1.80s = 1.35ps

⇒ So % net effect on sale receipts = (1.35ps - PS) × 100/ps

∴ Net effect = 35% increase
