Question
The marked price of an article is Rs. 250 more than its
cost price. The article is sold at 50% 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 + 250’ Selling price of the article = Rs. (x + 25) ATQ; 0.50 × (x + 250) = x + 25 Or, 0.5x + 125 – x = 25 Or, 0.5x = 100 So, x = 200 So, marked price of the article = 200 + 250 = Rs. 450
