Question

By selling an article at Rs. 36800, a profit of 25% was achieved. What is the original price of the article ? ( Please provide steps to solve along with solution )​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

profit=RS 36800

profit %=25

Profit%=profit/C.P

25=CP-SP/CP(cross multiply both the sides)

25x=36800-x(take CP=x)

25x+x=36800

x=36800/26

x=1415.38

so CP=1415.38

Answer 2

Answer:

29440 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

let the original prize be x

x * 25/100 + x = 36800

25 x /100 + 100 x/100 = 36800

125x / 100 =36800

125 x =3680000

x= 3680000/125

x= 29440
