Last year Jose sold a painting for $2000. If he made a 25%
profit on the sale, how much had he paid for the painting?

Answer Posted / karlagunta prasad

LET S.P BE - 100
PROFIT -25%
THEN 10TAL 125%

THAT MEANS $2000=125%
WHAT IS 100%

-> $2000*100/125
-> $1600

Is This Answer Correct ?    89 Yes 18 No
