Solution

C.P. of the dress = Rs.400

Profit `=20/100xx"Rs."400`  = Rs.80

S.P. = C.P. + Profit

= Rs.400 + Rs.80

= Rs.480

Let, M.P. of the dress = Rs.100

Discount @ 20% `=20/100xx"Rs."100` = Rs.20

S.P. of the dress = M.P. − Discount

= Rs.100 − Rs.20

= Rs.80

If S.P. of the dress is ₹80; then M.P. = ₹100

If S.P. of the dress is ₹1 then M.P. = `₹100/80`

If S.P. of the dress is ₹480 then M.P.

`= ₹100/80xx480`

= ₹100 × 6 = 600

∴ M.P. of the dress = ₹600
