Question

A dress was sold for $180, thereby making a profit of 25% on the cost price. What was the cost price?

Answer 1

Answer:

135

Step-by-step explanation:

25 percent of 180 45 using formula 180-45 135

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price = $180

Profit% = 25%

Cost price = ? = x

If, we take the original price as 100% and the shopkeeper gained 25%, that means we paid a total of 125%

125% of the original amount is $180

$\frac{125}{100} \times x = 180 \\ x = \frac{180 \times 100}{125} \\ x = \frac{180 \times 4}{5} \\ x = \frac{36 \times 4}{1} \\ x = 144$

This answer is correct, I am 100%, I am a little spectical towards the other answer. This is no hate to the person who answered it
