Question

When 48 article sold for rs 300 there was 25% profit?

Answer 1

If you are asking cost of each article, then the solution is as following:

Let x be the total cost of 48 articles,

Therefore,

x + 25/100x = 300

(100x + 25x)/100 = 300

125x = 300 * 100

125x = 30000

x = 30000/125

x = 240

Therefore,

Total Cost of 48 articles was Rs.240

Therefore,

Cost of each Article = 240/48

= Rs.5

Thus,

Cost of each article is Rs.5
