CrackverbalGMAT · Answer

Let the MP = 100

After a 25% Reduction, the price is now 100 * 0.75 = 75

We want to find the % increase.

%  Increase = \frac{Difference}{Smaller \space Number} * 100 = \frac{25}{75} * 100  = 33.33%

Let Marked Price = 100X
then its reduced by 25%
Reduced price = 75X

Let marked price be Y percent more than the reduced price

75X * (100+Y)/100 = 100X
3(100+Y) = 400
(100+Y) = 133.33
Y = 33.33

Answer is D

kntombat · Answer

Let the Marked Price be $100.
Therefore after reducing the marked price by 25%, it is 100 - 100*  \frac{25}{100} = $75.

Now the % of increase is =  \frac{ increase}{original} *100 =  \frac{25}{75} *100;
The answer is 33.33.

Therefore, the OA is D.

Asked: If marked price of an item is reduced by 25%, then marked price is what percent more than the reduced price?​

Reduced price = (100%-25%)* Marked Price = 75% * Marked Price = 3/4 * Marked Price
Marked price = 4/3 * Reduced Price
Marked Price = 133.3% * Reduced Price = (100%+33.3%) * Reduced Price

IMO D
