Let the cost price be CP.
Given, Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 329 Loss % = 6%
Loss = CP - SP Loss = CP - 329
Loss % = (Loss / CP) x 100 6 = ((CP - 329) / CP) x 100
Solving for CP:
6CP = 100CP - 32900
94CP = 32900
CP = 32900 / 94
CP ≈ 350
Therefore, the cost price of the article is approximately Rs. 350.
