Q1, if original price is 100, margin 10%, final price = 110
however if final price - 10% will = 99
so... u cannot just reduce 25%
it should be 100-100/110 X100%= (around 90.1%)
for your is 100-(100/125X100%)= 20%

RM 100 + RM25 = RM125
RM125 x 20% = RM25

Q2, D? =.="

Q3, C? i hate this type of question de = =
