Answer:

Hey mate,.................... here's your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

see there is a loss of 25% on a article

it means its s.p is 75%the c.p

* the loss is occured when it is sold at 3/5 tghe the previous selling price

it means

down the selling price would be===profit%*cp+cp ----------use this in the place of sp below

75/100* C.p= 3/5 S.p(previous selling price)   ------------now solve for sp

lets do

75/100*CP=3/5(  (profit/100)*cp+cp )

75/100*CP=3/5 (100cp+x*cp)/100--------------by taking lcm  x is profit %

75/100*cp=3/5 (cp(100+x)/100)---------taking cp as common

evaluate

(75/100)*cp/cp *100=3/5(100+x)

on solving we get x =25
