Given: As per given in the question,selling an article in Rs.300 and loss becomes 25%.

To Find: We are said to find the C.P. of an article.

$\:\:\:\:$___________________

$\: \: \:$

$\large{\sf{\bold{\underline{According\:to\:the\:question}}}}$

$\: \: \: \\ \\ \: \: \:$

• We are provided with selling price of an article 300 rupees and loss on that article is 25% and we are said to find cost price of an article.

$\: \: \: \\ \: \: \:$

$\large{\mathfrak{\underline{Using\:Formula}}}$

$\: \: \\ \: \:$

$\bold{\boxed{\underline{C.P. = {\dfrac{S.P}{1-{\dfrac{loss}{100}}}}}}}$

$\: \: \:$

$\large{\mathfrak{\underline{Substitute\:the\:values}}}$

$\: \: \: \\ \: \: \:$

$\: \: \: \\ \: \: \: \sf \: : \implies \: cost \: price = \frac{300}{1 - \frac{25}{100} } \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \sf \: : \implies \: cost \: price = \frac{300}{ \frac{100 - 25}{100} } \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \sf \: : \implies \: cost \: price = \frac{300 \times 100}{75} \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \sf \: : \implies \: cost \: price = 400 \: rupees$

$\therefore$

Hence,Cost price of an article is 400 rupees.
