Since the article is marked up by 200%, marked price = 3x
After giving 25% discount, it is sold at Rs. 540;
∴ 3x × 0.75 = 540
⇒ x = 240
∴ Cost price of the article = Rs. 240Since the article is marked up by 200%, marked price = 3x
After giving 25% discount, it is sold at Rs. 540;
∴ 3x × 0.75 = 540
⇒ x = 240
∴ Cost price of the article = Rs. 240Similar Questions
