Solution

\[\text { Given, }\]

\[\text { SP of the item = Rs } . 660\]

\[\text { Discount on the item = 25 % } \]

\[\text { Profit on the item = 10 % }\]

\[\text { We know }, \]

\[\text { MP } = \left( \frac{100 \times SP}{100 - \text { Discount % }} \right)\]

\[ = \left( \frac{100 \times 660}{100 - 25} \right)\]
