Question

a retailer sold a shirt for rupees 1000 and he made a profit of 25% find the purchased price of a shirt​

Answer 1

750 rupees is used to make shirt

250 rupees is profit

Explanation:

If the retailer sold the shirt for 1000 rupees and got 25% profit then that means 1/4 is profit and 3/4 is how much the retailer spent to make the shirt.

So 1000 times 3/4 is 750 which is how much the shirt really cost and

1000 times 1/4 is 250 and that is the retailers profit.
