Answer 2

Solution:
--------------

let the cost price of the sweater be ' ₹ x '

selling price of sweater = ₹600

loss = 20%

Find the loss:
--------------------

loss = 20% of cost price

= 20% of x = ₹ 0.2x

Find the cost price:
----------------------------

cost price - loss = selling price

x - 0.2x = 600

0.8x = 600 => 8x ÷ 10 = 600

8x = 6000 => x = ₹750

Answer: cost price of sweater = ₹750
