Answer 1

Answer:

cost price of an article = $6000

Step-by-step explanation:

selling price of an article (s.p) = $ 555

Loss(l) = 7½% = 7.5 %

Let the cost price = c.p

$c.p = \frac{s.p\times 100}{100-l}\\=\frac{555\times 100}{100-7.5}\\=\frac{555\times 100}{92.5}\\=6000$

Therefore,

Therefore,

cost price of an article = $6000
