Question

A WOMAN SOLD AN ARTICLE FOR 200,000.00$ AND MADE A PROFIT 25%. FIND THE COST PRICE OF THE ARTICLE

Answer 1

Answer:

cost + 25%of cost = 200,000

cost (1+25/100)= 200,000

cost (1+1/4)=200,000

cost (5/4)=200,000

cost=200,000x(4/5)

=40000x4

= 160,000

Answer 2

Answer:

The original cost is 160000

Step-by-step explanation:

X  x 25/100 + X = 200,000

25X/100 + X =200,000

X= 200,000-25X/100

X= (20,000,000-25X) / 100

100X = 20,000,000-25X

125X = 20,000,000

X = 160000
