Question

1:
By selling 33 m of cloth, a drapper loses an amount equal to the selling price of 3m of cloth. Find
his gain or loss percent.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of 1 m cloth.

Then,

Price of 33m cloth =  33x

Price of 3m cloth = 3x i.e. loss

So, Selling price of cloth = CP - Loss

                                            = 33x - 3m

                                            = 30x

∴ Loss % x 100

                x 100

               

                = 9.09% 

Answer 2

Let the required no be x

Given ;

SP of 33m of cloth = SP of 3m of cloth

Cost of 1 m of cloth = 33/x = 3/x
