\\ \text{Lets price of goods be Rs. 100} \\ \text{After adding 40} \%$ price $S . P=100+40=$ Rs. 140 \\ In sell $25 \%$ of selling $S.P =\frac{140 \times 25}{100}= Rs .35$ \\ Hence after discount S.P $=140-25=$ Rs. 105 \\ Total gain $=105-100=5 \%$ \\ If cost Rs. 640 then Selling price $=640+\frac{640 \times 5}{100}=$ Rs. 672
