To find :

The cost price of the article

Solution :

We are familiar with the formula used to find the cost price when selling price and loss % is given to us.

${\boxed{\sf\:{CP = \frac{100}{(100 - loss\%)} \times SP}}}$

⇒ CP = 100/(100 - 25) × 4800

⇒ CP = 100/75 × 4800

⇒ CP = 100 × 64

⇒ CP = 6400

Cost price = Rs. 6400

Therefore, the cost price of the article is Rs. 6400.

Answer 2

${\blue{\underline { \underline{\huge{ \mathfrak {\pink{Answer:-}}}}}}}$

S.P of the article is Rs 150 and loss =25%

So , by using formula

${\red{\fbox{\boxed{CP = \frac{100}{100 -loss\%}}}}}$

$\mathtt{CP = \frac{100}{(100 - 25)} \times 50 }\\ \mathtt : {\implies \: \frac{100}{75} \times 150} \\ : \mathtt{ \implies \: Rs200}$

Hence the CP of the article is Rs 200.
