Answer:

Explanation:

let original price of an article be x

marked price(price after discount )=Rs 7500

discount%=25%

discount =discount % of cost price

=25/100*x

=25x/100

=x/4

Mark price=original price-discount amount

Rs 7500=x-x/4

Rs 7500=4*x-x/4

Rs 7500*4=4x-x

Rs 30000=3x

Rs 30000/3=x

Rs10000=x

therefore original price of an article is Rs 10000.
