Question

if Akhil sold an article for rupees 500 and gained 25% on it find the cost price of the article ​

Answer 1

$\huge\bold\red{ANSWER:}$

Let the cost price of article be x

and, Gain%=25%

$gain = 25\%of \: x = \frac{25x}{100}$

now, Sp=Cp+Gain

$500 = x + \frac{25x}{100} \\ 500 = \frac{125x}{100} \\ 125x = 50000 \\ x = 400$

Cost price=x=₹400
