Answer:
GHC757.317
GHC181.756
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Discount on sale = 18%
Sale price at 18% discount = 828
828 = 100% - 18%
828 = 82%
The cost at 100% can be represented as :
828 = 0.82
x = 1
Cross multiply :
828 = 0.82x
x = 828 / 0.82
x = 1009.7560
The price 1009.7560 includes a marked gain of 25% ; Hence, cost price of the article is :
(100 - 25)% * 1009.7560
0.75 * 1009.7560
= GHC757.317
Discount allowed :
1009.7560 - 828
= GHC181.756
