You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the buying price of an article which is sold for sh.108500 at a profit of 7%
------------
Let the buying price be "x".
Equation:
buying price + 7%*buying price = selling price.
x + 0.07x = 108500
x(1 + 0.07) = 108500
1.07x = 108500
x = 108500/1.07
x = 101401.87
The buying price is sh.101401.87
