Question

17. By selling an article for Rs.25,500 a man earns a profit of 25/4%. Find the cost price of the article
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$24,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Dude its very easy....just follow my steps...

Let the cost price be Rs. $x$

Hence,

Profit =  $S.P. - C.P.$

         = $Rs. (25,500 - x)$

now, we know,

$Profit Percent = \frac{profit}{cost price} * 100$

so,

$=) \frac{25}{4} = \frac{25,500 - x}{x} * 100$

$=) \frac{25}{4}*\frac{1}{100} = \frac{25,500 - x}{x}$

$=) \frac{1}{16} = \frac{25,500 - x}{x}$

$=) x = 16 * (25,500 -x)$

$=) x = 408000 - 16x$

$=)17x = 408000$

$=) x =24,000$
