SP = Rs. 144
CP is equal to percentage of profit
Note: In this type of question go through option.
Option (b) : CP = Rs. 80
Profit % = 80%
SP =80+80 / 100×80
= Rs. 144 (Satisfied)
Answer:
Given in the question.
Selling price(S.P)=144
Profit%=Cost price(C.P)
Cost price(C.P)=?
We know that,
P%=
C.P
S.P−C.P
×100
C.P=
C.P
144−C.P
×100
C.P

=14400−100C.P
C.P

+100C.P−14400=0
C.P

+180C.P−80C.P−14400=0
C.P(C.P.+180)−80(C.P+180)=0
(C.P+180)(C.P−80)=0
C.P cannot be negative.
So,
C.P=80
Hence,the cost price of article is Rs 80.
