Question

find the cp of an article whose sp is Rs.10000 when loss is 20 percent​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP = 12500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP be x

SP = 10000

Loss Percentage = 20%

ATQ

x = 10000 + 20% of x

x = 10000 + 20/100 * x

x = 10000 + x/5

x - x/5 = 10000

4x/5 = 10000

4x = 10000*5

4x = 50000

x = 12500

Hence, the CP = 12500
