of its cost price. Find its cost price.



​

Answer 1

Answer:

325

Step-by-step explanation:

1 by 4 is equal to quater of 1300

1300 by 4 is 325

Answer 2

Answer:

SP = 1300

Gain = 1/4 of cost price.

Gain = (1/4)×CP

Now, SP-Gain=CP [This formula is correct for this situation]

$1300+\frac{1}{4}\times CP=CP$

$1300=CP+\frac{1}{4}CP$

$1300=\frac{5}{4}CP$

$CP=1300\times\frac{4}{5}$

$CP=1040 Rs.$
