Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A cloth merchant sales 65m of cloth

36 per metre gaining there by 30 percent

30% is his profit by selling 65m cloth

1m--------->36

65m-------->x

x= 36×65

x = 2340

30% of 2340 is 30×2340/100 = 702

he gained extra of 702 rs

by subtracting 702 from 2340 we get

merchants cost

2340-702 = 1638

the actual cost of cloth is 1638
