Question

a coat was sold a gain of 5 % if it had been sold for 1700 less he would have suffered a loss of 10 % find the cost price
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 165

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original cost price be Rs.100.

selling price to get a gain 5% = Rs.105

selling price to get a loss 5% = Rs. 95

 

difference in selling prices = Rs.10

 

If the difference is Rs.10, then original cost price Rs.100

If the difference is Rs.16.50, then original cost price = (100/10)×16.50 =  Rs. 165
