Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let C. P. of the article be rupees x

loss on the article = 20% of x

= rupees x/5

S. P. = C. P - loss

= x - x/5

= 4x/5 rupees

if he sold it for 100 rs more,

then S. P

= 4x/5 + 100

= (4x + 500)/5 rupees

profit = 5% of x

= rupees x/20

Now,

profit = S. P - C. P.

=> x/20 = (4x + 500)/5 - x

=> x/20 = (4x + 500 - 5x) /5

=> x/20 = (500 - x)/5

=> x/4 = 500 - x

=> x/4 + x = 500

=> 5x/4 = 500

=> x = 500 x 4/5

=> x = 400 rupees

hence,

C. P. of article = 400 rupees
