Question

12. A table was sold at 16% loss for 3.360. Find the
cost price of the table.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

For the first situation,

Profit % =

C.P.

S.P.−C.P.

×100=10

=>S.P.−C.P.=0.1C.P.

=>S.P.=1.1C.P --- (1)

For the second situation, Selling price = Selling price of 1st situation +Rs30

And Cost price is same

So, Profit % =

C.P.

S.P.−C.P.

×100=15

=>

C.P.

S.P.+30−C.P.

×100=15

=>S.P.+30−C.P=0.15C.P.

=>S.P.=1.15C.P−30 --- (2)

From, equations 1, 2

1.1C.P.=1.15C.P−30

=>0.05C.P.=30

C.P.=Rs600
