It's something I could answer when I'm fresh, but maybe someone else could answer. @DARTHVADER2900 @YoungStudier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let marked price=100 x discount=25 % selling price=\[100~ x \times \frac{ 75 }{ 100 }=75~x\] profit=20~% cost price=\[75~x \times \frac{ 80 }{ 100 }=60 x\] marked price up=\[\frac{ 40 x }{ 60x } \times 100=66.67 \]%

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

but the answer given is 60%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The normal price is \(p\), the cost is \(c\). \[ (1-0.25)p= (1+0.2)c \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now I'm wondering, what is the difference between the profit and the markup?

OpenStudy (vijeya3):

Markup can be expressed as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the total cost or selling price
