A camera is sold at an 18% discount on its marked price. This sale leads to a profit of 25% on its cost price. If the profit earned is ₹600, what would have been the selling price if the camera was sold at a 30% discount on its marked price?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. Let cost be $C$. Profit 25% means $0.25C=600$, so $C=2400$.

2. Selling at 18% discount gives $S_1=0.82M=1.25C=3000$, so $M=\dfrac{3000}{0.82}$.

3. At 30% discount $S_2=0.70M=0.70	imes\dfrac{3000}{0.82}=2560.98	ext{ (approx)}$.

4. Rounded to two decimals this matches the closest choice **(b)**.
