Answer» Answer: $24,000$ Step-by-step explanation: Dude its very easy....just follow my steps... Let the COST PRICE be Rs. $x$ HENCE, Profit = $S.P. - C.P.$ = $Rs. (25,500 - x)$ now, we KNOW, $Profit Percent = \frac{profit}{cost price} * 100$ so, $=) \frac{25}{4} = \frac{25,500 - x}{x} * 100$ $=) \frac{25}{4}\frac{1}{100} = \frac{25,500 - x}{x}$ $=) \frac{1}{16} = \frac{25,500 - x}{x}$ $=) x = 16 (25,500 -x)$ $=) x = 408000 - 16x$ $=)17x = 408000$ $=) x =24,000$ Hope it helps you buddy....
