Answer:

625 rupees

Explanation:

Selling Price of articles (S.P.)= 750 rupees

Profit ( P) = 20% of Cost Price (C.P.)

S.P.= C.P. + P

let C.P. = a

750= a + ( 20/100 )a

750 = a + 20a/100

750 = ( 100 a + 20a)/100

750*100 = 120a

750*100/120= a

7500/12 = a

2500/4 = a

625 = a

Cost Price = 625 rupees
