Hey!!

Let CP X.

SP = 1.2X.

When CP is Rs. 100 less,
CP = X - 100
SP = 1.2X - 100.
Now,
1.2X - 100 = 1.24*(X-100)
On Solving, we get

X = 600.
CP = Rs. 600.

Hope this helps you ☺☺

20%=1/5
let cp =500x
sp =600x
(500x-100)124/100=(600x-100)
124/100=31/25
15500x-3100=15000x-2500
500x=600
x=6/5
cp =500×6/5=600
