ATQ, Let the cost price of the article be Rs.'a' According to the question, 1.15 × 0.85 × a = 1955 Or, a = 1955/0.9775 = Rs. 2000 Let the mark up percentage be b% According to the question, 2000 + b% of 2000 – 10% of (2000 + b% of 2000) = 1955 + 25 Or, 2000 + 20b – 200 – 2b = 1980 Or, 18b = 180 Or, b = 10%
