Let the cost price and marked price of the article be Rs. 5x and Rs. 8x, respectivelyAccording to the question,8x – 5x = 216Or, x = 72Therefore, cost price of the article = 5x = Rs. 360Marked price of the article = 8x = Rs. 576Selling price of the article = 576 – 180 = Rs. 396Required profit percentage = {(396 – 360)/360} × 100 = 10%
