Let the market price be RS 100. Then after first discount S.P becomes 80 and after another discount it becomes Rs. 75.

so S.P = 75. now with this S.P he has made a profit of 20% and hence the

C.P = (75/120)*100 = 62.5

so percentage change with respect to market price is = (37.5/62.5)*100

giving 60%

80/100*375/400*MP=120/100*CP
Mp=160/100*CP
that is MP is 60% above the CP
