Question

A bicycle is sold at rupees 7200 a loss of 25% find the cost price​

Answer 1

9000 (or 5400)

Explanation:

7200 x 0.25 (25%) is 1800. To find the original value you would add this to the sell price (7200)

so your new equation is 7200 + 1800 which equals 9000.

The answer above is if it's meaning original price and not price after with a loss of 25% after 7200. If it is the second option, then you answer would be 5400 due to the same method but with subtraction.
