When the price of an article was reduced by 20 its sales increased by 80 what was the net effect on the sale?.

• Let the Price of an article is 100 RS and initially 100 Articles were sold.
  Therefore total revenue = 100*100=10000 RS.
  
  Now , When Price is reduced by 20% and sale is increased by 80%
  Then Price of an Article will be 80 RS. and Total Articles sold will be 180
  Therefore total revenue = 80*180= 14400 RS.
  
  So, Profit% = (4400*100)/10000 = 44%

• Before change in the price:
  Total sale= 100*100=10,000;
  
  After change in the price:
  Total sale= 180*80=14,400;
  
  Profit= 4,440/-
  %Profit=44.

• let article prize be 100
  100 reduced to 20
  100 rs article is increased by 80 (ie.180)
  again 100-80=20
  reduced =20
  increased=20
  (20+20) + (20*20)/100=44%
