Correct Answer: $21\frac{7}{8}\%$
Solution : Using, Marked price = Cost price + Mark-up value Selling price = Marked price – Discount Let the cost price as $x$. The marked price would then be $1.30x$. The discount of $6\frac{1}{4}\%$ on the marked price $=\frac{25}{400}\times1.30x = 0.08125x$ The selling price after the discount $=1.30x - 0.08125x = 1.21875x$ The gain percent $=\frac{(1.21875x - x)}{x}\times100 =21.875\%= 21\frac{7}{8}\%$ Hence, the correct answer is $21\frac{7}{8}\%$.
