Answer 2

Answer:

The cost price of cow is Rs. 6200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  A cow is sold at a profit of 10% had it been sold for rs 930 more the profit would have been 25%

To find : The cost price of the cow?

Solution :

Let the cost price of cow be x.

Initially the cow is sold at a profit of 10%

$S.P_1=\frac{110}{100}x$  .....[1]

And if it sold at 25%

$S.P_2=\frac{125}{100}x$ .....[2]

The difference in profit is Rs. 930

$S.P_2-S.P_1=930$

$\frac{125}{100}x-\frac{110}{100}x=930$

$\frac{125-110}{100}x=930$

$\frac{15}{100}x=930$

$x=\frac{930\times 100}{15}$

$x=6200$

Therefore, The cost price of cow is Rs. 6200.
