Solution
Let the decided price of the item be ₹ 100.
∴ Marked price of the item = ₹ 100 + 25% of ₹ 100
= ₹ 100 + ₹ 25
= ₹ 125
Discount on the item = 20% of ₹ 125
= \[\frac{20}{100} \times 125\]
= ₹ 25
∴ Selling price of the item = Marked price of the item − Discount on the item
= ₹ 125 − ₹ 25
= ₹ 100
Since the decided price of the item is same as the selling price of the item so the shopkeeper neither makes any profit nor any loss on selling the item.
Thus, the shopkeeper gets 0% on the decided price.
