Question

8. A person sells a table at a profit of 10%. If he had bought it at 5% less cost and sold for rupees 80 more, he would
have gained 20%. Find the cost price of the table. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4 units difference = Rs. 80

[Given]

1 unit → 20

100 units→ 20 × 100

= Rs. 2000

CP of table = Rs. 2000

Answer 2

Answer:

2000 rs

assume   cp1 = 100

sp1 =  100 + 100*10/100  =    110

cp2 =  5% less of 100  =   95

sp =  95 + 95 * 20/100 = 114

difference sp1-sp2 = 4 unit

                      4u = 80

                      1u =  20

               cp1  =  20*100

                       2000
