Pls reply bro is there any other way to solve it

Watch YouTube videos to solve this .This is really easy,since you're a beginner you're finding it difficult.Assume, profit is always given as a % of cost or sales price.If it is 20% of sales price ,we can also say it as 1/5 of sales,then it will be 1/6 of cost.Always take one value extra for cost in denominator

This is basic mathematics. Dont learn by heart. If 25% is on cost assume cost is 100 and profit is 25 and SP is 125. So if SP is 125 cost is 100 If SP is 1000 cost is? Do a cross multiplication

always, Cost + Profit ------------------------ = Sales ------------------------ If given , profit is 33â??% on cost then, Cost(100%) +Profit (33â??). [ Since given profit is 33â?? on cost] ---------------------------- = Sales( 133â??) --------------------------- If given , profit is 33â?? on sales then, Backward solving Sales (100%) - Profit(33â??) [since given profit is 33â?? on sales] --------------------------- Cost (66â??) -------------------------- In your given case , profit is 33â?? on cost while given sales = 80,00,000. So, Cost(100%) +Profit(33â??) --------------------------------------------- = Sales(133â??%) = 80,00,000 --------------------------------------------- So, if 133â??(i.e, sales) is 80l Then 100% (i.e, cost)= 60l(80,00,000Ã?100/133â??) It is simply a unitary methods, very easy if understood concept.
