A shopkeeper sold an article at 15% discount and gives one article free of cost of Rs,2.5 and still he gains 33.33%. If cost price of article is Rs.30. Find mark price of article?

• cp=30
  profit=0.33*30=10
  sp=30+10=40
  
  let mp=x
  x-0.15x-2.5=40
  0.85x=42.5
  x=42.5/0.85=50
  
  mark price=Rs 50

• 50.97 Rs
  
  If marked price of an 30 Rs. article=30*(100+x)/100 and total cost price of both article=30+2.5=32.5
  Discounted marked price=Profit*Cost price
  (85/100)[30*(100+x)/100] = 1.3333(32.5)
  On solving,x=69.93
  So marked price=30*(100+69.93)/100=50.97
