Question

By selling an article for 375 rupees , a shopkeeper gained as much percent as its cost . Calculate the cost price of the article.​

Answer 1

SP of an article - ₹375

let profit percentage be x,

therefore, CP =

$\frac{100}{100 + x\% } \times 375$

ATQ :- x =

$\frac{100}{100 + x\%} \times 375$

x= 375/x+1

x(x+1)=375

x²+x= 375
