at a profit of 15% and the chair at a loss of 10% a total profit of 6% is
made, then what is the cost price of the chair? [while solving equation please explain how are you solving the equation]

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 648

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost 1800 + 6% Profit = Rs. 1908

Now Lets Take

Chair Cost as X

Table Cost as Y

( X - 10% ) + ( Y + 15% ) = 1908

Now Put a Random 648 On X So 1800-648 = 1152 = Y

(648 - 64.8) + (1152 + 172.8) = 1908

583.2 + 1324.8 = 1908
