Let, The marked price of the article is ‘x’.
After allowing a discount of 10%,
Price at which it is sold = x – 0.10x = 0.90x.
According to the question,
The cost price = Rs.800.
Gain made = 12.5%.
∴ 0.90x = 800 + 0.125 × 800
⇒ 0.90x = 900
⇒ x = 1000.
After allowing a discount of 10%,
Price at which it is sold = x – 0.10x = 0.90x.
According to the question,
The cost price = Rs.800.
Gain made = 12.5%.
∴ 0.90x = 800 + 0.125 × 800
⇒ 0.90x = 900
⇒ x = 1000.
