After taking 20% off, then there is a profit of 20%
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+x+\"$ = the price before taking 20% off
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.2%2A%28+x+-+.2x+%29+=+100+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.2%2A.8x+=+100+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.16x+=+100+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+625+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+625+-+.2%2A625+=+.8%2A625+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.8%2A625+=+500+\"$ is the price after discount
\n" ); document.write( "The MP ( marked price ) would be:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.2%2A500+=+600+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Rs. 600
