Step-by-step explanation:

Question:-

A cycle is sold at a gain of 10%. Had it been sold for ₹150 more the profit would have 15%Find its cost price

Given:-

A cycle is sold at a gain of 10%

sold for ₹150 more the profit would have 15%

$\huge\mathcal\green{Solution:-}$

Assume the cost of the cycle to be x.

It is sold at a gain of 10% =

$\frac{10x}{100}$

If it was sold for ₹150, the profit would be 15% =

$\frac{15x}{100}$

$\frac{15x}{100} - \frac{10x}{100} = 150$

$\frac{5x}{100} = 150$

5x = 15000

$x = \frac{15000}{5}$

$x = 3000$

The cost price of the tricycle = ₹3000
