=100/ 3

=33.333---

25/4%= 6.25% is the profit so since the machine was sold for Rs 1020 the Selling Price in percentage = 100+6.25% = 106.25% So the CP 106.25% 1020 100% ? cross multiply 100*1020/106.25 = Rs 960 is the Cost Price

Answer 4

The cost price will be 75% of the selling price

The percentage will be (25/75)*100%

Will be 33.333 %

Answer 5

You mean the selling price is cost price marked up by 25%, correct?

Say CP = Z

SP = Z + (25% of Z) = 100% Z + 25% Z = 125% Z

Therefore SP = 125% of Z

Z = SP / 125% = SP / 1.25 = SP x (1/1.25) = SP x 0.8 = SP x 80 %

Therefore cost price is 80% of the selling price.
