Question

If the selling price of an article which is sold at
121/2% profit is Rs. 36, find the cost price of the
article.​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP of the article is Rs 32

Step-by-step explanation:

let CP be x

SP = CP + profit

=> 36 = x + 12.5x/100

=> 36 = x + x/8

=> 36 = 9x/8

=> x = 36*8/9

=> x = 32

therefore CP of the article is Rs 32
