Answer:

Rs. 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the CP be Rs. x

⇒ Profit % = ( Profit / CP ) × 100

Profit = SP - CP

According to the question,

SP = Rs. 275 and CP = Rs. x, Profit % = 10%

Substituting the values we get,

⇒ 10% = ( 275 - x ) × 100 / x

⇒ 10 × x = 27500 - 100x

⇒ 10x = 27500 - 100x

⇒ 10x + 100x = 110x = 27500

⇒ 11x = 2750

⇒ x = 2750 / 11 = 250

Hence the Cost price of the article is Rs. 250.

Hope it helped !!
