Answer 1

Given:-

• If an article costs 25% less, then a profit of 100 more can be made by selling the article at the usual price.

ToFind:-

• What is the cost price of the article?

Solution:-

• Let, the cost price be x

→ New C.P = x - 25/100 x

→ New C.P = 75/100 x

→ New C.P = 3/4 x

S.P = x

→ Profit = SP - CP

→ 100 = x - 3/4 x

→ 100 = x/4

→ x = 400 ₹

Hence,

• Cost price of the article is 400 ₹
