Question Explanation

Text Explanation

Let us say the cost price of an item is X

It is said that it is marked to make a profit of 20%. 

That means it is marked at 1.2X

Ravi gets a 10% discount on the marked price, 

0.9(1.2X)=1.08X0.9\left(1.2X\right)=1.08X

Saves 15 rupees, so 1.2X-1.08X

0.12X=15

X=125

Profit made by Gopi is 0.08(125)=10 rupees.
