Solution
Let S.P. of the article = Rs.100
30% of S.P. = Rs.`30/100xx100` = Rs.30
∴ C.P. of the article = 100 − 30 = Rs.70
Profit = S.P. − C.P.
= Rs.100 − Rs.70 = Rs.30
Profit % =`"Profit"/"C.P."xx100`
`=30/70xx100=300/7%=42 6/7%`

Suppose, marked price of the item = 100 rupees
Therefore, for customer that item costs `square` - `square` = 90 rupees
Hence, when the discount is `square` then the selling price is `square` rupees.
Suppose when the discount is `square` rupees, the selling price is x rupees.
