If the price off a dress was cut by 20% for a sale, by what percentage off the sale price must it be increased by to resell it at the original price?

• Ans:)-25%
  let the original price be x
  then the price is cut by 20%=x-x/5=4x/5
  ATQ
  let percentage off the sale price to be increased be Y
  then,4x/5+y/100*4x/5=x
  on solving we get y=25%

• let the original price of dress= 100
  discount% = 20%
  selling price% =80%
  
  new price=x
  x*80% =100
  x=125
  increase in price=125-100=25
  increase% = (25*100)/100 = 25%
  ans is 25%

• let the orignal price be 100. discount of 20% will make the price 80.
  again to get the orignal price the % increase should be:- (100-80)*100/80=25%

• 25%
  let the original price of dress= 100
  discount% = 20%
  selling price% =80%
  
  new price=x
  x*80% =100
  x=125
  increase in price=125-100=25
  increase% = (25*100)/100 = 25%

• (r/100-r)*100
  (20/100-20)*100
  25%

• c.p=100,s.p=80,gain %=(c.p-s.p)*100/s.p=20*100/80=25%
