Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost price of the cloth C.P.=RsC

For the first case,

Profit % =

C.P

S.P.1−C.P.

​

×100=

C

78−C

​

×100

For the second case,

Profit % =

C.P

S.P.2−C.P.

​

×100=

C

83−C

​

×100

Given, Profit % in second case − Profit % in second case =20 %

So,

C

83−C

​

×100−

C

78−C

​

×100=20 %

−>

C

83−C−78+C

​

×100−20

=>C=Rs25

Hence, cost price of the cloth =Rs25
