Question

What is the cost price of an article which is sold at a loss of 25% for Rs 150.

Answer 1

On selling the article there is a loss of 25% hence it is obvious value would be higher than 150. Let's take a round figure 200. Hence, the cost price is 200, on selling for a loss of Rs. 50, 25% selling price becomes Rs. 150.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs. 200

Step-by-step explanation:

C.P. = $\dfrac{100}{100 - Loss\%}$ × S.P.

       = $\dfrac{100}{100 - 25}$ × 150

       = [tex]\dfrac{100}{75} × 150

       = Rs. 200
