Let space the space marked space price space be space straight x
Case space 1
SP space equals MP minus Discount equals space 0.6 straight x
Loss percent sign equals 10
10 equals fraction numerator CP minus SP over denominator CP end fraction cross times 100
10 equals fraction numerator CP minus 0.6 over denominator CP end fraction cross times 100
CP equals 2 over 3 straight x space space space......1

Case 2
SP equals MP minus discount
SP equals 0.8 straight x
straight P equals 7.5
SP minus CP equals 7.5
CP equals 0.8 straight x minus 7.5 space space.......2

So comma from space 1 space and space 2
2 over 3 straight x equals 0.8 straight x minus 7.5
straight x equals 56.25 space.... sub space in space 1
CP equals 37.5 Rs.
