cost price of the bicycle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(9÷100)×x==60+(4÷100)×x

Step-by-step explanation:

(5÷100)×x=60

x=1200

Answer 2

Answer:The cost price of bicycle is

1200 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price = cost price + gain or loss

Let the original selling price be "s"rupees and the cost price be "x"rupees.

Therefore in the first situation ,

s = x + 4% of x

s = (100x + 4x)/100

s = 104x/100 ......(1)

In the second situation,

s + 60 = x + 9% of x

s +60 = 109x/100...... (2)

Eqn (2) - (1) ,

s+60 - s = 109x/100 - 104x/100

60 = 5x/100

Therefore , 6000 = 5x

x = 1200 rupees
