The marked price of an article is Rs. 135 more than its
cost price. The article is sold at 56% discount such that the seller earns a profit of Rs. 25. Find the marked price of the article.Solution
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘x’. Then, marked price of the article = Rs. ‘x + 135’ Selling price of the article = Rs. (x + 25) ATQ; 0.56 × (x + 135) = x + 25 Or, 0.56x + 75.6 – x = 25 Or, 0.44x = 50.6 So, x = 115 So, marked price of the article = 115 + 135 = Rs. 250
