Expert Answer
Let sell price is S, Marked Price is M and Cost price is C
Profit = Sell Price - Cost Price = S - C
here sell price is after 20% discount on Marked Price = 0.8 * M
Now, target profit is 20% of Cost price = 0.2 *C
Keeping all the values in profit equation.
0.2 * C = 0.8 * M - C
Solve the above equation;
1.2 * C = 0.8 * M
M = 1.2/0.8 C = 1.5 C
Marked Price should be 1.5 times of Cost price to get the profit of 20% on product after sell.
That is 50% more than CP
