It's cost price as a percentage of it's selling price is 125%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A object costs Rs.675. If it is sold at a loss of 20%.

To find : What is it's Cost Price as a percentage of it's selling price?​

Solution :

The cost price is Rs.675.

The selling price is given by,

$SP=\frac{100-L\%}{100}\times CP$

$SP=\frac{100-20}{100}\times 675$

$SP=\frac{80}{100}\times 675$

$SP=Rs.540$

Cost Price as a percentage of it's selling price is given by,

$CP\%=\frac{CP}{SP}\times 100$

$CP\%=\frac{675}{540}\times 100$

$CP\%=125\%$

Therefore, it's cost price as a percentage of it's selling price is 125%.
