Let CP = x
SP = 110x/100 = 11x/10
But
SP + 63 = 125x/100 = 5x/4
11x/10 + 63 = 5x/4
63 = 5x/4 - 11x/10
63 = 25x - 22x/20
63 = 3x/20
x = 63 * 20/3
x = 420 rupees
CP = Rs420
SP = 110x/100 = 11x/10
But
SP + 63 = 125x/100 = 5x/4
11x/10 + 63 = 5x/4
63 = 5x/4 - 11x/10
63 = 25x - 22x/20
63 = 3x/20
x = 63 * 20/3
x = 420 rupees
CP = Rs420
