Question

7. Shikha sold a towel at a loss of 10%. If she had
sold it for 15 more, she would have made a
profit of 10%. What is the C.P. of the towel?​

Answer 1

Answer :

Cost price = Rs. 75

Explanation :

According to the question :

Let the Cost price ( CP ) be ' x '

❍ Selling price in Loss :

=> x - 10 % of x

=> x - 10 / 100 [ LCM = 100 ]

=> 100 - 10 / 100 x

=> 90 / 100x

=> 9 / 10x

❍ Selling price in Profit :

=> x + 10 % of x

=> x + 10 / 100 [ LCM = 100 ]

=> 100 + 10 / 100 x

=> 110 / 100x

=> 11 / 10x

Equation :

⋆☆⋆ SP in Profit - SP in loss = Rs. 15

=> ( 11 / 10x ) - ( 9 / 10x ) = 15

=> 2 / 10 of x = 15

=> 1 / 5 of x = 15

=> 1x = 15 × 5

=> x = 75

❥ So, It's Done ❥ !!
