Actual price of article is Rs 480.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an article was sold for Rs 360 after a 25% discount and we have to find the actual price of article.

Let the actual price of article be Rs x.

As we know that discount is always given on the actual or original price.

So, the equation is represented as;

      Actual price of article - Discount given = Selling price of article

Firstly, Discount = 25% of x

                           = \frac{25}{100} \times x

Hence,   x - \frac{25}{100} \times x = 360

                 \frac{100x - 25x}{100}  = 360   {by taking LCM}

                     75x = 360 \times 100

                     75x = 36000

                       x = \frac{36000}{75} = 480

Therefore, the actual price of article is Rs 480.
