The Cost Price Of 20 Articles Is The Same As The Selling Price Of X Articles. If The Profit Is 25%, Then The Value Of X Is? |

Answer» LET the cost PRICE of 1 article be Z. So, the cost price of 20 article = 20z ------------------------- (1) Selling Price of 20 articles = 20z + 25% of 20z = 25z => Selling Price of 1 article = 25z/20 = (5/4) *z => Selling Price of x articles = (5/4) *z*x ------------------------- (2) GIVEN that Selling Price (S.P.) of x articles = Cost Price (C.P.) of 20 articles => (5/4) *z*x = 20z => x = 16. Let the cost price of 1 article be z. So, the cost price of 20 article = 20z ------------------------- (1) Selling Price of 20 articles = 20z + 25% of 20z = 25z => Selling Price of 1 article = 25z/20 = (5/4) *z => Selling Price of x articles = (5/4) *z*x ------------------------- (2) Given that Selling Price (S.P.) of x articles = Cost Price (C.P.) of 20 articles => (5/4) *z*x = 20z => x = 16. |
