The cost price of \(20\) articles is the same as the selling price of \(x\) articles. If the profit is \(25\) %, find out the value of \(x\)
Answer: D
The cost price (CP) of one article \(=1\)
\(\Rightarrow\) CP of \(x\) articles \(=x\) ...........................(Equation 1)
CP of \(20\) articles \(= 20\)
Given that cost price of \(20 \) articles is the same as the selling price of \(x\) articles
\(\Rightarrow\) Selling price (SP) of \(x\)articles \(= \)\(20\) ............(Equation 2)
Given that Profit \(= 25\)%
