algebra precalculus - Shopkeeper's problem

I was reading a text book and came across the following interesting problem, mostly faced by shopkeepers:




If x% discount on an article is given on cash payment, find the percentage that should be marked above the cost price so as to make a profit of y%.




Can someone please explain me how to solve this problem?



Thanks in advance!
