Answer 2

Answer:

Rs. 240.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling Price: Rs. 252.

Profit% gained: 5%.

Let the cost price be: x.

Forming an equation, we get,

x + [x(5/100)] = 252

x + (x/20) = 252

{Taking LCM of 1 and 20, which is 20, we get...}

(20x + x)/20 = 252

21x/20 = 252

{Transposing 21/20 to RHS...}

x = 252(20/21)

x = 12(20)

x = 240

Hence, the Cost price is Rs. 240.
