Answer 1

SOLUTION

GIVEN

An auto rickshaw is sold at a gain 25%. Had it been sold for 72 more been 30%

TO DETERMINE

The cost price

EVALUATION

Let the cost price = 100 x

The selling price when gain is 25% = 125x

The selling price when gain is 30% = 130x

So by the given condition -

125x + 72 = 130x

⇒ 130x - 125x = 72

⇒ 5x = 72

Hence the required cost price

= Rs 100x

= Rs 5x × 20

= Rs 72 × 20

= Rs 1440
