A dealer purchased a fan for Rs. 1080. After allowing a discount of 25% on its marked price, he gains 25%. Find the marked price of the fan.

Cost Price = Rs.1080

Selling Price


=

Discount = 25%


Let × be the market price.


Market Price – Discount = Selling Price


× – 25% of × = 1350


× – 25x/100 = 1350


75x/100 = 1350


X= (1350 × 100) / 75


= Rs.1800
