Expert Answer
selling price =Rs 240,
discount = 25% of the marked price
but: (marked price) = (selling price) + discount
So the selling price must be: (100-25 = 75)% of the marked price, i.e.:
selling price = 
× (marked price)
So:
marked price = 
× (selling price)
= 
×240
= 320
The CD usually costs Rs320, and the cash discount is: (320-240) = Rs80
