Hi All, can any one help me with below question. I faced this question in my official test. (or at least on similar lines).

X buys a product at 80 of Sellers Price and sells it at 125% profit for $900. what is the sellers original price.

400
500
600
700
800


the answer is missing from your choices..
if you discount something by 20% and add25% profit, it will get you back to the original price, here 900...
eq will be .8* original*1.25=900...

Profit is 125% and not 25%

Thank you...
kudos for pointing out..
ofcourse then answer changes..
.8* original*2.25=900....
original=500
ans B
