Question

6.25 *CP=5% of CP +100. Find CP​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{25}{31}$  or, 0.806

Step-by-step explanation:

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION,

          6.25 × CP = $\frac{5}{100} (CP + 100)$

    => 6.25 × $\frac{100}{5}$ = $\frac{CP+100}{CP}$

   => 1 + $\frac{100}{CP}$ = 125

  => $\frac{100}{CP}$ = 124

  => CP = $\frac{100}{124}$

  => CP = $\frac{25}{31}$ = 0.806
