Question

the cost price of 60 articles is same as the selling price of X articles if there is a profit of 20% then what is the value of x

Answer 1

let the price of One article be =1rupees
then, the price of 60articles is =60rupees
sp=(cp+profit)/100+cp
sp=(60+20%)/100+60
sp=12+60
sp=72
but the sp is=x
therefore, x=72

Answer 2

the cost price of 60 articles is same as the selling price of X articles
let price of one article is 10
so, cost of 60 article = 60 × 10 = 600
so, selling price of x articles is 600

there is a profit of 20% in x articles
so, Selling price of x article = Cost price of x article + 20% profit of cost price of x
600 = x + 20%x
600 = 100%x + 20%x
600 = 120%x
600 = 120x/100
600 = 1.2x
x = 600/1.2
x = 500
