Rs. 1000



We take CP = x

Now If i sell an article at 20% profit then what will be our SP in terms of x ?

simple 1.2x [ Because is told you percentage to decimal conersion So 20% here is nothing but 0.2x and total SP will be x+ 0.2x = 1.2x remember add in case of profit and subtract in case of loss]

Given, he sold the article at 1200 Rs

So 1.2x = 1200 Rs 

So x = 1000 Rs
