Question

5. Amalbabu sold a picture at 20% loss. But he made a profit of 5% if he sold it with ₹200 more. Let us calculate and observe the cost price of the picture he has bought.


​

Answer 1

Answer:

we get cost price of product as 800

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be cost price of product

he sold it for 20% loss

hence selling price is x-(20/100)x

if he had sold it for 5% profit then he can make 200/- more

hence x+(5/100)x=200+(x-(20/100)x)

hence from this we get cost price of product as 800

Answer 2

Answer:

Let x be cost price of product

he sold it for 20% loss

hence Sp is X-(20/100)x

if he sold it for 5% profit then he can make 200\- more hence X +(5\100) x = 200 + (x-20/100)x

Hence CP = 800
