Step-by-step explanation:
The bookseller sold a book and earned a profit that is equal to one-fifth of the cost price of the book.
If the cost price of the book is assumed to be Rs. x and its selling price is given to be Rs. 180, then we can write the equation as
180 – x = x/5
180 = x + x/5
6x/ 5 = 180
» X= 150
Therefore, the cost price of the book is Rs. 150. (Answer)
