    Rs 440

    Explanation

    Suppose the marked price be Rs 100a. He gives discount of 25%, hence the price at which he sold the article= 0.75 × 100a = 75aEven after selling the article at 75a he is earning 10% profit. Hence cost Price = Rs (75a)/1.1 According to the question cost Price = Rs 300 Hence, (75a)/1.1 = 300 ⇒a=300×1.175=4.4\Rightarrow a = \frac{{300 \times 1.1}}{{75}} = 4.4 So marked Price = 100a = 100 × 4.4 = Rs 440.
