selling price the trader marks be S.P1;

after discount the selling price be S.P2;

so

[S.P1 - ((11.11/100)*S.P1)] = S.P2;

also from the que, we can write (14.28/100)*C.P = Profit;

profit is S.P2 - C.P;

so, (14.28/100)*C.P = [S.P1 - ((11.11/100)*S.P1)] - C.P;

(114.28/100)*C.P = (88.89/100)*S.P1;

S.P1 = 128.56*C.P;

therefore the trader marks 28.56% above the C.P....
