a shopkeeper wants to give 20% discount on a toy.he has to sell it for rs300.if he sells it at rs 405,then what is his gain %?

• Here discount and gain is done relative to Marked Price'
  
  let Marked Price = x
  
  80% of x=300 So x= 375
  Now gain=405-375= Rs.30
  Gain%= 30/375*100 = 1/12.5*100 =8%

• Let CP = 100x
  
  Discount = 20%
  
  SP = 100x - 20% of CP⇒ 80x
  
  According to the question,
  
  80x⟷ Rs. 300
  
  1x⟶ 300/80×100
  
  100x⟶300/80×100=375
  
  Actual CP = Rs. 375
  
  New SP = Rs. 405
  
  Profit = Rs. 30
  
  Given percent
  
  =30/375×100=8%Ans.
