Question

a trader sells an article and loss 12×1/2.the ratio of cost price to the selling price is​

Answer 1

The ratio of cost price to the selling price is​ 8:7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be x

We are given that loss is $12 \frac{1}{2} \% = \frac{25}{200}$

$Loss = \frac{25}{200}x$

Selling price = Cost price - Loss

Selling price = $x-\frac{25}{200}x$

Selling price = $\frac{175}{200}x$

Ratio of cost price to the selling price = $\frac{x}{\frac{175}{200}x}=\frac{8}{7}$

Hence the ratio of cost price to the selling price is​ 8:7
