Let the marked price=1 "Re."=1Re.
Discount allowed=25%=25%
Sale Price=1xx(1-25/100)=1xx(1-0.25)=0.75" Re."=1×(125100)=1×(10.25)=0.75 Re.
Profit earned 20%20%

:. Cost price="sale price"/(1+20/100)

=> Cost price =0.75/1.20=0.625" Re."

We know that
Profit ="Sale Price"-"Cost Price"
=>Profit =0.75-0.625
=>Profit =0.125" Re."

If Profit is Re. 0.125 then Marked price=1" Re"
If Profit is Re. 1 then Marked price=1/0.125" Re"
If Profit is Rs. 40 then Marked price=1/0.125xx40=320" Rs."
