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.

cp*20=sp*x-----> (1).
profit = 25%.
so,
cp=1y ,sp=1.25y.
from eq 1;
1y*20=x*1.5y.
solve x=20/1.5=16.
profit = 25%.
so,
cp=1y ,sp=1.25y.
from eq 1;
1y*20=x*1.5y.
solve x=20/1.5=16.

Hi guys,
Here , Given that S.p = 20x.
Profit = 25%.
We need to find the value of x, which is C.P
Hence, C.P=20x÷125*100
125=20x*100
125=2000x
X = 2000÷125
=16.

X.SP=20CP.
SP/CP=20/x.
SUPPOSE;
SP=20.
CP=x.
profit=SP-CP=y=20-x.
profit%=y x 100/CP.
25=y x 100/x.
solve it.
then, we get the value of x.
SP/CP=20/x.
SUPPOSE;
SP=20.
CP=x.
profit=SP-CP=y=20-x.
profit%=y x 100/CP.
25=y x 100/x.
solve it.
then, we get the value of x.

Lets C.P. of 20 articles=100 rupees.
then S.P. of 20 articles = 125 (with 25% profit).
S.P. of 1 article =125/20 = 6.25.
The C.P. and S.P. is equal which is 100. So one can sale 16 articles having the price of 6.25 in 100 rupees.
As following
100/6.25=16.
then S.P. of 20 articles = 125 (with 25% profit).
S.P. of 1 article =125/20 = 6.25.
The C.P. and S.P. is equal which is 100. So one can sale 16 articles having the price of 6.25 in 100 rupees.
As following
100/6.25=16.

Why it's not 25 can anyone explain?

@Vatsalya.
If C.P of 20 articles = S.P of 25 articles.
Then there will be a loss, not profit.
If C.P of 20 articles = S.P of 25 articles.
Then there will be a loss, not profit.
