      A shopkeeper marks an item at ₹800 and offers a 20%

      discount. He still makes a profit of 25%. What is the cost price of the item?
      A ₹500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B ₹512 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C ₹560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D ₹600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Selling price after a 20% discount = 800 × (1 - 20/100) = ₹800 × 0.8 = ₹640. Cost price = Selling price / (1 + Profit%) = ₹640 / 1.25 = ₹512. Correct option: b
