Answer:

The cost price of mobile = 1280 Rs.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

On selling a mobile for Rs.1216

                Mohan got lose  5%

here we need to find cost price of the mobile      

let x be the cost price

loss percentage on x = 5%  

         loss on mobile = $\frac{5}{100}(x)$  

                                   = $\frac{x}{20}$  

we know that  Loss = Cost price – Selling price

                 ⇒      $\frac{x}{20}$   =  x  -   1216

                 ⇒   $x - \frac{x}{20} = 1216$  

                 ⇒   $\frac{20x- x}{20} = 1216$  

                 ⇒  19x  =  24320

                 ⇒     x  =  24320/ 19 = 1280

the cost price of mobile = 1280 Rs.
