List price of article is rs 50
10% discount is offered and is 10*50/100= Rs 5
Sale price =LP-discount= Rs 45
Profit is 25%
So we have cost price = 100*45/125= Rs 36
Cost price of article=Rs 36
10% discount is offered and is 10*50/100= Rs 5
Sale price =LP-discount= Rs 45
Profit is 25%
So we have cost price = 100*45/125= Rs 36
Cost price of article=Rs 36
