1. Rekha buys a laptop for \(Rs.45000\). She wants to sell it at a profit of \(Rs.1500\). If the discount is \(Rs.700\), find the M.P.
  
Given:
 
C.P. \(= Rs.45000\)
 
Profit \(= Rs.1500\)
 
Discount \(= Rs.700\)
 
\(\text{S.P.}\) \(=\) \(\text{Profit}\) \(+\) \(\text{C.P.}\)
 
\(= 1500 + 45000\)
 
\(= Rs.47000\)
 
\(\text{M.P.}\) \(=\) \(\text{S.P.}\) \(+\) \(\text{Discount}\)
 
\(= 47000 + 700\)
 
\(= Rs.47700\)
 
  
2. Abu has bought a travel bag for \(Rs.4000\). He plans to sell it for \(Rs.5000\). If the price is marked at \(Rs.5625\), find the discount and profit or loss.
 
Given:
 
C.P. \(= Rs.4000\)
 
S.P. \(= Rs.5000\)
 
M.P. \(= Rs.5625\)
 
\(\text{Discount}\) \(=\) \(\text{M.P.}\) \(-\) \(\text{S.P.}\)
 
\(= 5625 - 5000\)
 
\(= Rs.625\)
 
In this case, S.P. \(>\) C.P.
 
Therefore there is a profit.
 
\(\text{Profit}\) \(=\) \(\text{S.P.}\) \(-\) \(\text{C.P.}\)
 
\(= 5000 - 4000\)
 
\(= Rs.1000\)
