If he made 25 percent profit, the selling price (1200 naira) is 125 percent.

If 125% is equal to 1200 naira

100 percent (the original) will be 100 × 1200 divided by 125

Which is 120000 ÷ 125

Therefore, the cost price is 960 naira

Answer:

the cost price is 960/-

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling Price = 1200

Profit = 25%

Finding the cost price:

Let the cost price be x

Then,

x = 1200-0.25x

=> x+0.25x = 1200

=> 1.25x = 1200

Dividing both sides by 1.25

=> x = 960

So the cost price is 960/-

Answer:

$\frac{1429}{120}$ or $11\frac{109}{120}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A farmer has a basket of peaches. He gives ⅓ of the peaches to one person, ¼ to another, ⅕ to another, ⅛ to another, and then gives 7 peaches to a 5th person.

Remaining peaches = 4

We need to find the original number of peaches in the basket.

The farmer gives the total number of peaches = $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7$

Let x be the former gives the total number of peaches

We multiply and divide by 120 in right side of the above equation because of 120 is divided by all given denominator and then simplify.

$x = \frac{120}{120}(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{8}+7)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(\frac{120}{3}+\frac{120}{4}+\frac{120}{5}+\frac{120}{8}+7\times 120)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(40+30+24+15+840)$

$x = \frac{1}{120}(949)$

$x = \frac{949}{120}$

We add the remaining peaches by given peaches for the original number of peaches in the basket.

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949}{120}+4$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949+4\times 120}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{949+480}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $\frac{1429}{120}$

Original number of peaches = $11\frac{109}{120}$

Therefore the original number of peaches in the basket is $\frac{1429}{120}$ or $11\frac{109}{120}$
