Given:

•The selling price of a toy robot is Rs.3750.

•If the profit made by shopkeeper is 20%.

To find:

The cost price.

Explanation:

Using the formula of the cost price:

$= > C.P. = \frac{100}{100 + Gain\%} \times S.P.$

So,

$= > C.P. = \frac{100}{100 + 20} \times 3750 \\ \\ = > C.P. = \frac{100}{120} \times 3750 \\ \\ = > C.P. = \frac{37500}{12} \\ \\ = > C.P.=Rs.3125$

Thus,

The cost price of a toy robot is Rs.3125.
