- Selling price = 4000
- Profit = 25%
- We know,
- [tex]\sf cost \: \: price \: \: = \frac{100}{100 + profit\%} \times selling \: \: price \\ [/tex]
- Therefore, cost price
[tex] \sf= \frac{100}{100 + 25} \times 4000 \\ = \frac{100}{125} \times 4000 \\ = \frac{4}{5} \times 4000 \\ = 4 \times 800 \\ = 3200[/tex]
[tex] \huge \sf \: Answer[/tex]
The cost price is 3200.
