The cost price of 32 articles is equal to the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 28%, then the value of x is ______.
25
Let the cost price of one article be ₹1; with 28% profit, selling price of one article = ₹1.28.
CP of 32 articles = SP of x articles
32 × 1 = x × 1.28
x = 32 ÷ 1.28
= 25
Hence, 25.
