price. The cost price of the article is :​

Answer 1

Here's your answer dear (◔‿◔)(◔‿◔)

please follow up with me:

sp = 8000

let cp be x

then loss = x%

and cp = sp + loss% of cp (formula)

x = 8000 + x/100 of x

x = 8000 + x²/100

x = (800000 + x²)/100

100x = 800000 + x²

0 = x² - 100x + 800000

now solve it

hope this helps you
