Question

A Bhojpuri khukuri is marked to sell at a profit of 10•/• by a shopkeeper. If he had sold it at a discount of Rs.105, there would have been a loss of 5•/•. Find the cost price of the Khukuri.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost price of Khukuri is 2100

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost price be x

then selling price is x+10% = 1.1x

if the shopkeeper sold at a discount of Rs.105 ie (x-105) there would've been a loss of 5%

x-105 = 0.95x

x-0.95x = 105

0.05x = 105

x = 2100
