Let X be the selling price of 1 article.
Therefore, the selling price of 100 articles = 100X.

The profit earned by selling these 100 articles = selling price of 75 articles = 75X

Selling price of 100 articles = 100X and Profit = 75X
100X = Cost Price + 75X. Hence, Cost Price = 100X - 75X = 25X.
Profit % = 300%

Assume the coast price is = AB 100.
there the merchant would mark it to be AB 100 + 75%= 100+75
=175
Therefore, his % discount =75\175 *100  = 42.85%

He makes a profit of 20%.
It means that the merchant sells 30 apples for Rs.1.20

Therefore, selling price of 1 apple = (1.20/30) = Rs.0.04
The number of apples that can be sold for Rs.1.00 = Rs.1.00/0.04 = 25 apples
