A shop keeper sells toy at 24 only ,from it he gains profit in % of his cost price ,then what will be the cost price?

Question

anonymous · Answer

$24?  Do we have enough information here?

anonymous · Answer

I don't know if we have enough information to solve this one.  In order to know the cost price, we would have to know the final price and the percentage of increase (if the toy price went up) or the percentage of decrease (if the toy was on sale).  I feel like we're missing a number in this question.  

If we aren't, then I'm not sure how to answer it.

I have no idea.  I'd say - ask the question again and see if others can help.

I think Cost price = 20 rupees
Then , profit =  4 rupees 
Or, profit =  20% of 20 = 4
So, the cost price = profit percent

anonymous · Answer

Let the cost price be Rs. "x". Then, the percent profit = x%
Now, x + x% of x = 24
Now solve.
