Solution

$Let the marked price of muffler = Rs x Rate of discount = 25 % Discount = 25 % of Rs x = Rs (\frac{x}{4}) Now, SP = MP - discount = x - \frac{x}{4} = Rs (\frac{3 x}{4}) Now, \frac{3 x}{4} = 20 \Rightarrow 3 x = 80 \Rightarrow x = \frac{80}{3} = 26.66 dollars So, cost of muffler before discount = 26.66 dollars$
