100/100-5% X 540
100/95 X 540
100/19 X 108
10800/19
568.42
hence, CP of the article is Rs. 568.42

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
S.P= ₹ 540, loss%=5%
Let the Cost price = C.P
Loss% =( loss/C.P) × 100
Loss% =( (CP- SP)/CP ) × 100
5 =( (CP - 540)/CP ) × 100
5/100 = ( (CP - 540)/CP )
1/20 = ( (CP - 540)/CP )
CP = 20 (CP - 540)
20 = 20CP - 10800
20CP - CP = 10800
19CP = 10800
CP = 10800/19
CP =₹ 568.42
Hence, the cost price of an item = ₹ 568.42
