An article was sold at a price of $360. If the profit made by the shopkeeper is 20%, find the cost price of the article

288

you first have to figure ot what

does 20% means. And this

questions is with subtracting.

So,

20% = 72

And since the question is with

subtracting we use our 360$

from before and we subtract.

360$ - 20% = 288 or

360$ - 72 = 288

I hope that explanation helped

you understand why the answer

is 288.

what is the question?

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
