Answer 2

The cost price of article=Rs 150

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the market price of the article

Discount=20% of x

C.P=Market price-Discount=$x-\frac{20}{100}x=\frac{100x-20x}{100}$

Cost price of the article for customer=$\frac{80}[100}x=\frac{4}{5}x$

S.P=Rs 180

S.P of salesman=C.P of customer

S.P  of Raghu=Rs 180=$\frac{4}{5}x$

$x=\frac{5}{4}\times 180=Rs 225$

Market price=Rs 225

Gain=20%

C.P=$\frac{100}{100+profit(in\;percentage)}\times S.P$

Using the formula

$C.P=\frac{100}{100+20}\times 180=Rs 150$

Hence, the cost price of article=Rs 150
