Answer:

Given

let c.p.=x rupees

totally c.p=x+500+2000

=x+2500

Profit=20%

S.P=9000 rupees

so, C.P=S.P X100/100+p%

or, x+2500 =9000X100/100+20

or, x+2500=900000/120

or x+2500=7500

or, x=7500-2500

so, x=5000 rupees Ans.

Your answer is 5200 because first we will subtract over head expenses then subtract 20%
