Question

A woman sold an article for 200 GH cedis and made a profit of 25%. Find the cost price of the article.

Answer 1

160

Explanation:

x = original price

x+ 25% x = 200

Change to decimal form

x + .25x = 200

1.25x = 200

Divide each side by 1.25

x = 200/1.25

x =160

The original price was 160
