Answer:

The cost price = GHc 16.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price = GHC 20.00

Profit Percent = 25%

Cost price = ?

Formula for finding cost price =

[tex] \frac{100}{100 + profit \: percent} \times selling \: price[/tex]

Let's insert the numbers

[tex] \frac{100}{100 + 25} \times 20 \\ = \frac{100}{125} \times 20 \\ = \frac{4}{5} \times 20 \\ = \frac{4 \times 20}{5} \\ = \frac{80}{5} \\ = 16[/tex]

So therefore ; the cost price is GHC 16.00
