Question

14 . A dealer sold a motorcycle at a loss of 10%. If he had sold it for Rs 4500 more, he
would have made a profit of 5%. Find the selling price of the motorcycle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The selling price is 30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price is x

loss = 10%

so, selling price = c.p(1-loss%)\100

x×90\100=9x\10

again,, C.P = X

profit = 5%

so,, S.P = X× 105\100

105X \ 100

According to Question ,,

105x\100 - 9x\10 = 4500

105x-90x\ 100 = 4500

15x\100 = 4500

15x = 4500 × 100

X = 4500 × 100 \15

so, X = 30,000 Answer
