Correct answer is: Rs. 75
Explanation:
Given:
The selling price of 145 metres cloth = Rs. 12,325
The profit = Rs 10 per metre of cloth
Formula:
\(\text{Cost price = Selling price - Profit}\)
Calculation:
1 metre of cloth = Rs. 10 profit
145 metre of cloth = \(\text{Rs. 10 × 145 = 1450}\)
\(\text{ Cost price = Selling price - Profit }\)
Cost price of 145 metre = 12,325 - 1450 = Rs. 10,875
∴ Cost price of 1 metre cloth = \(\frac{10875}{145}= \text{Rs. 75}\)
