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: Option
Explanation:
Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of x articles = Rs. x.
S.P. of x articles = Rs. 20.
Profit = Rs. (20 - x).
 |
 |
20 - x | x 100 = 25 |  |
| x |
2000 - 100x = 25x
125x = 2000
x = 16.

priya...
in general form.
let the cost of 20 article = y rs
so cost of 1 article= y/20rs
and cost of x article = xy/20
so the profit= price-sailing price/sailing rate
25=(y-x*y/20)/(x*y/20)
by solve this u got 16 answer

Hi.
20 article cp =sp of x article.
( Cp of 1 article =100 , suppose.
Then cp of 20 article =20*100 = which is equivalent to sp of x article.
So,
X article sp = 2000.
X article cp = 100*x.
(25/100) = (2000-100x)/(100x).
X = 16.
20 article cp =sp of x article.
( Cp of 1 article =100 , suppose.
Then cp of 20 article =20*100 = which is equivalent to sp of x article.
So,
X article sp = 2000.
X article cp = 100*x.
(25/100) = (2000-100x)/(100x).
X = 16.

@Sanjeet could you tell me.
Hence, S. P of x article is Rs. 20.
So S. P. of 1 article = 20/x.
After that, I can't understand why are you using -1 for profit on one article.
Profit on one article= (20/x) - 1.
Please explain me.
Hence, S. P of x article is Rs. 20.
So S. P. of 1 article = 20/x.

Profit on one article= (20/x) - 1.
Please explain me.

C.P of each article be R.S 1. So 20 article is 20 R.S.
We need to find S.P of x = R.S 20. Profit is 25%.
So 25% of 20 is 5 R.S.
= 25/100*20 = 5.
So S.P is 20+5 = 25.
= 25/20 = 1.25 for 1 article.
= 1.25*16 = 20.
So it is 16.

So it is 16.

Let C.P of 20 articles=Rs. 100= S.P of 20 articles.
Gain %= 25%.
Therefore s.p of 20 articles= Rs. 125.
Hence S.P of 1 article = Rs. 125/20.
Thus S.P of x articles = 100 = (125/20) * x.
Which gives x = 2000/125= 16 Answer.

First of all, understand that
Let suppose the c.p of 1 article is 1vs
Then the cost of x article is x rd.
And s.p of x article is equal to 20*1
Which is 20,
And it's given 25%profit which means
25=20-x/x *100,
Then x=16.

We have to know about value of x? So there is 20 Articles and profit is 25 so put the formula.
SP = (100+gain /100*CP).
Thus (100+25/100*25).
So now calculate it 125/20000.
16 answer.
If I'm wrong then correct me ?
SP = (100+gain /100*CP).
Thus (100+25/100*25).
So now calculate it 125/20000.

Lets cost price of each article be 4.
So cost price of 20 articles = 20*4=80.
So selling price of each article = 4+4*25%= 5.
So selling price of x articles = 5x.
So according to the question 5x = 80.
So x = 80/5= 16.
So cost price of 20 articles = 20*4=80.
So selling price of each article = 4+4*25%= 5.
So selling price of x articles = 5x.
So according to the question 5x = 80.
So x = 80/5= 16.

If c.p of an article is 4 and s.p of an article is 5.
c.p of articles is equal to s.p of 16 article;
So,20*4=16*5=80.
s.p of 20 article is 20*5 = 100.
c.p of 20 article is 20*4 = 80.
Profit is 20.
20/80 *100=25%.
c.p of articles is equal to s.p of 16 article;
So,20*4=16*5=80.
s.p of 20 article is 20*5 = 100.
c.p of 20 article is 20*4 = 80.
Profit is 20.
20/80 *100=25%.

CP of 20A= S.P OF X ARTICLE.
# SP OF X =20.
So we know S.P of X as well as profit.
SIMPLY APPLY THE FORMULA.
# S.P = (100+ PROFIT %)*CP.
20 = 100* 25/100*C.P.
# C.P = 16.
# ACTUAL VALUE OF X =16.
# SP OF X =20.
So we know S.P of X as well as profit.
SIMPLY APPLY THE FORMULA.
# S.P = (100+ PROFIT %)*CP.
20 = 100* 25/100*C.P.
# C.P = 16.
# ACTUAL VALUE OF X =16.
