If an article price is 100 rupees and you get a 25% discount then for the same article if you sell it at 75 rupees then how much profit will you make, when you have to earn a margin of 20 rupees.

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's clarify the situation:

1. **Original Price**: 100 rupees
2. **Discount**: 25%

Discounted price (Cost Price) = 100 - (25% of 100) = 100 - 25 = 75 rupees

3. **Selling Price**: 75 rupees

Now, to calculate the profit:

- **Profit** = Selling Price - Cost Price
- Profit = 75 - 75 = 0 rupees

Since you have a target profit margin of 20 rupees, this sale does not meet your desired profit margin. To achieve a margin of 20 rupees, you would need to sell the article for:

- Required Selling Price = Cost Price + Desired Profit Margin
- Required Selling Price = 75 + 20 = 95 rupees

Therefore, selling the article at 75 rupees does not provide any profit, let alone meet the desired profit margin of 20 rupees. You would need to sell the article at 95 rupees to achieve a 20 rupees profit margin.

If an article price is 100 rupees and you get a 25% discount then for the same article if you sell it at 75 rupees then how much profit will you make, when you have to earn a margin of 20 rupees.
