Let the marked price be Rs. x
As per the given data,
Discount = 20% of x = 20x/100 = x/5
We know that,
Selling price = Marked price – Discount
⇒ 2400 = x – (x/5)
⇒ 2400 = 4x/5
⇒ x = 12000/4 = Rs. 3000
∴ Marked price = Rs. 3000
To find the selling price when the discount = 25%
Discount = 25/100 × 3000 = Rs. 750
Selling price = 3000 – 750 = Rs. 2250
∴ Selling price of an article when the discount is 25% is Rs. 2250
