    Explanation:
    Cost price of article ‘F’ = 2.5 × 660 = Rs. 1650
    Selling price of article ‘F’ = 3000 – 1650 = Rs. 1350
    Discount offered on the article = 0.25 × 3850 = Rs. 962.5
    Therefore, marked price of the article = 1350 + 962.5 =Rs. 2312.5
    mount by which article ‘F’ is marked up = 2312.5 – 1650 = Rs. 662.5
     
    Common Explanation:
    20x + 10x + 22x + 33x + 30x = 2300
    Or, 115x = 2300
    Or, x = 20
    Discount offered (in Rs.)
    A => 20x = 400
    B => 10x = 200
    C => 22x = 440
    D => 33x = 660
    E => 30x = 600
    Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x
    Therefore, selling price of the article = Rs. (x + 100)
    According to the question,
    (x + x + 100) = 5100
    Or, 2x = 5000
    Or, x = Rs. 2500
    Therefore, cost price of the article = Rs. 2500
    Selling price of the article = (2500 + 100) = Rs. 2600
    Therefore, marked price of the article ‘A’ = (2600 + 400)= Rs. 3000
    Amount by which article ‘A’ is marked up = (3000 –2500) = Rs. 500
