Answer 2

Given:

Selling price=Rs.90

Loss=25%

To find:

The cost price

Solution:

The article's price is Rs.120.

Since the article has incurred a 25% loss on selling, the price of selling has to be less than the article's cost.

Let the article's cost be X.

The amount of loss=25% of the cost

=25% of X

=25X/100

=X/4

Now, we will subtract the loss from the cost and equate it with the article's selling price.

Using values,

X-X/4=90

(4X-X)/4=90

3X/4=90

X/4=30

X=30×4

X=120

Therefore, the article's price is Rs.120.
