Answer 2

Given:-

•Selling Price of an article is 375 rupees and a man gains 25%.

To Find:-

•In order to loss of 20%,what will be the S.P.of the article?

Solution:-

we have,

• S.P. = 375 rupees
• Gain = 25%

Using Formula:

$\: \: \sf \: cp = \frac{sp}{100 + g} \times 100$

Now substitute the values,

$\: \: \sf \: cp = \frac{375}{100 + 25} \times 100 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: cp = \frac{375}{125} \times 100 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: cp = 300rupees$

Hence,Cost Price of an article is 300 rupees.

Now,

• C.P = Rs.300
• Loss = 20%

Using Formula:

$\: \: \sf \: sp = \frac{cp}{100} \times (100 - l)$

Now substitute the values,

$\: \: \sf \: sp = \frac{300}{100} \times (100 - 20) \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: sp = \frac{300}{100} \times 80 \\ \\ \: \: \sf \: sp = 240rupees$

Hence,Selling Price of an article is 240rupees.
