Given:

Profit = 25 Percent

Discount = 15 Percent

Formula:

MP/CP = (100 + Profit %)/(100 – Discount %)

MP = Printed Price

CP = Cost Price

Calculation:

We know that –

MP/CP = (100 + Profit %)/(100 – Discount %)   ………. (1)

Put all given values in equation (1) then we gets

MP/CP = (100 + 25)/(100 – 15)

⇒ 125/85

⇒ 25/17

∴ The Ratio of the Printed price and cost price of radio will be 25 ∶ 17
