Question

A men sell 5 oranges in 1 rupees
then men have 25% loss, what is
Cost price?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let cost price per 5 oranges =n. Then selling price = .75n. Then selling price less cost price = .75n-n= -0.25n. However without additional facts-not given by the OP- no additional accuracy in the answer is possible.

If we write the ratio SP:CP we can say that 0.75n/n = 1/n. Then 0.75n=1 or n=4/3. Suggesting that the cost price is 4/3 of the selling price. This does not add any real new information to my original answer.
