Question

By selling an article for $Rs.825$, a man loses equal to $\frac{1}{3}$ of its selling price, then find the cost price of the article.

Answer 1

Let the cost price be Rs. $X$

As loss $=C.P-S.P$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}\left(825\right)=x-825$

$\Rightarrow x=825\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)=1100$
