explain step by step if your answer is 10000 your answer is correct ​

Answer 1

Answer:

10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of an article (s.p) = 8000

cost price of an article. (c.p) = x

loss on the article by selling = 1/5 of cost price

= 1 × x /5

loss = x/5

loss = c.p - s.p

x/5. = x - 8000

x = 5x - 40000

40000 = 5x - x

4x = 40000

x = 40000/4

x = 10000

The cost price of an article = x = 10000

Answer 2

Answer:

the correct answer is 10000

Step-by-step explanation:

cp = x

sp = 8000

loss = cp - sp

loss = 1/5 of x

x/5 = cp - 8000

8000 = x - x/5

8000 = 4x/5

4x = 8000*5 =40000

x = 40000/4 = 10000
