Question

s.p of an article is rupees 40 and gain is 25% then c.p =?​

Answer 1

sp of article=₹40

gain %= 25%

then, cp= ₹40+25% of 40

=40+(25/100×40)

=40+10

=₹50

Hence cp is ₹50

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Cost Price=x

So, x + 25% of x = 40

Or, x+x/4=40

Or, 5x/4=40

Or, x=160/5=32

Therefore, CP=Rs.32
