Let the marked price be 100
so selling price = 100 × 0.75 = 75
profit is 25% means original CP is 100/125 × 75 = 60
so CP = 60,
Marked rice = 100
giving 10% discount,
SP = 100 × 0.9 = 90
Profit = 90 – 60 = 30
% profit = 30/60 × 100 = 50%

Let the selling price is 100 rupee
on giving 25 % discount the price will be 75,on selling the object in 75 rupee profit = 25 % so original cost will be 75*100/125 = 60
now on giving 10 % discount selling cost will be 90 it means 30 rupee gain on an investment of 60 rupee so profit on investment = 30*100/60 = 50%

Let the cost be Rs x.
After giving 25% discount it becomes 0.75x
Selling price = 0.75x which gives 25% profit...(1)
Thus, after giving 10% discount it becomes 0.90x
Selling price = 0.90x ......(ii)
From (1) and (2),
0.90x will gives = (25 * 0.90x)/ (0.75x) = 30 % profit
