Let the cost price and marked price of the article be Rs. 5x and Rs. 8x, respectively
According to the question,
8x – 5x = 540
Or, x = 180
Therefore, cost price of the article = 5x = Rs. 900
Marked price of the article = 8x = Rs. 1440
Selling price of the article = 1440 – 180 = Rs. 1260
Required profit percentage = {(1260 – 900)/900} × 100 = 40%
