a cow was sold for RS 15000 after a loss of 5% find the cost price of the cow
Answers
Answer:
We first find out the cost price of each cow and then add them to find the total amount spent. We know the total money received. Comparing them, we will know whether there is a loss or gain in the whole transaction.
First Cow:
S.P.=Rs.12,000.
Gain=20%. Therefore,
Cost price =
(100+gain)
100
×S.P.
=
(100+20)
100
×12000
=
120
100
×12000
=10000. Second Cow:
S.P.=Rs.12,000.
Loss=20%. Therefore,
Cost price =
(100−loss)
100
×S.P.
=
(100−20)
100
×12000
=
80
100
×12000
=15000.
Therefore, the total cost price is 10000+15000=25000
And total selling price is 12000×2=24000
Thus, cost price greater than selling price.
Hence, there is a loss of Rs. 1000....
