someone please answer fast

Answer 1

Given Marked price of an Article = 500.

Given Discount = 5%

Discount = 5% of 500

                = 5/100 * 500

                = 25.

Selling price of the article = Marked price - Discount

                                            = 500 - 25

                                            = 475.


Let the cost price of the article = x.

Given profit = 25%.

Profit = 25% of x

          = 25x/100

          = x/4



Selling price of the article = x + x/4

                                            = 5x/4.


But selling price = 475

5x/4 = 475

5x = 1900

x = 1900/5

x = 380.


Therefore the cost price of the article = 380.
