☆Hello friend☆

Selling price of 1 orange=1
Let CP be Rs 100
Then SP be Rs 80i.e.,[100-20]
If SP is Rs 80 then CP=Rs 100
If SP is Rs 1 then CP=Rs 100/80×1
=10/8= 5/4=Rs 1.25

$hope \: it \: helps$

☺☺☺

Steve11111: u can do like this also - let cp be x. So loss=20℅ × x , 20/100 × x , so it will be x/5 , So sp = cp - loss , sp = x - x/5 , so now x will become 1 , so 1 - 1/5 , so it will be 4/5x , by the problem 4/5x = 1 ( sp of five oranges = 1) , so 4x = 5 , x = 5/4 , so the cost price will be = 1.25( do this in your copy i hope this will help you).

Sp of 5 oranges=$5
Loss%=20
Then cp=100/120x5
Cp=4.18
