Answer / techbots
buy value = X
profit = 0.25X
sell value =1.25X
20% less = X-0.2X=0.8X (new buy value)
1.25X-10.5 = new sell value
so (1.25X-10.5-0.8X)/0.8X = 30/100
so 45X-1050 = 24X
so 21X=1050
X = 50
so buy value = X=50

Answer / akher
SP=1.25CP.
Also, SP-10.50=0.80*1.30CP.
So, 1.25CP-1.04CP=10.50.
CP=10.50/.21=50
So Rs50 is the Cost price!

Answer / sv
CP - Cost Price
SP - Selling Price
1st eqn
CP + 0.25CP = SP
2nd eqn
CP - 0.20CP - 10.50 + 0.30(CP - 0.20CP - 10.50) = SP
from above 2 eqn
0.21CP=7.35
CP = 35
Cost Price is Rs 35.
