Let’s denote the Cost Price (CP) of 1 ball as x.
CP of 17 balls = 17x
CP of 5 balls = 5x
Given that the loss is equal to the CP of 5 balls:
Loss = 5x
Selling Price (SP) of 17 balls = Rs. 720
Since Loss = CP – SP:
5x = 17x – 720
Rearrange the equation:
12x = 720
x = 720 / 12
x = 60
The Cost Price of a ball is Rs. 60.
