Selling price = 15

profit P% = 25%

cost price = 'A' assumption

Formulae :

1. P% = [S.P - C.P/C.P]x100

25 = (15-A)/A x100 now multiply A with 25

25A= (15-A) x100

25A= 1500-100A ( multiplying with 100)

25A+100A = 1500 (shifting changes - to +)

125A = 1500 (adding both A quantities)

A= 1500/125 (when we shift 125 it becomes1/125)

A = 12

so cost price is 12
