Answer 2

Given:

✰ 6.25 × C.P. = 5% of C.P. + 100

To find:

✠ The cost price ( C.P. )

Solution:

C.P. of article is the price or money at which the article is bought.

Here, we are provided with an equation, we will solve this equation, doing requisite calculations and find out CP that is the cost price of an article. One must be careful by doing calculations in these type of questions.

Let's solve it...✧

First we will assume the C.P. of an article as x and we will find the C.P. of an article in terms of x.

Let the C.P. of an article be x.

➥ 6.25 × x = 5% of x + 100

➥ 6.25 × x = ( 5/100 × x) + 100

➥ 6.25x = 1/20x + 100

➥ 6.25x - 1/20x = 100

➥ (125x - 1x)/20 = 100

➥ 124x/20 = 100

➥ 124x = 100 × 20

➥ 124x = 2000

➥ x = 2000/124

➥ x = 16.13

∴ The cost price ( C.P. ) = Rs. 16.13
