$MP .=100 x$

Discount $=20 \%(100 x)=20 x$

$\Rightarrow$ Amount at which trader buys $=100 x-20 x=80 x$ $CP =80 x$

Profit $=25 \%(80 x)=20 x$

Amount at which trader should sell $=20 x+80 x=100 x$

Let the price at which he marked his price $=y$

$\Rightarrow \frac{y-100 x}{y} 	imes 100=20$

$4 y=500 x$

$y=125 x$

$	herefore \%$ by which he should mark up $=\frac{125 x-100 x}{100 x}$ $=25 \%$
