Let the cost price and marked price of the article be Rs. 7x and Rs. 11x, respectively Therefore, selling price of the article = 1.5 × 7x = Rs. 10.5x According to the question, 11x – 10.5x = 300 Or, x = 300/0.5 = 600 Therefore, amount by which article is marked up above its cost price = 11x – 7x = 4x = Rs. 2400
