Question

A cycle is sold at a gain of 10%. Had it been sold for Rs.150/- more the profit would have been 15%. Find its cost price? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

6500 rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the CP be x Rs.

Gain=10%.

SP= x(1+10/100)=110x/100.

Gain=14%.

SP=x(1+14/100)= 114x/100.

As per the question,

114x/100 - 110x/100 = 260.

=>(114x-110x)/100=260.

=>4x/100=260.

=>x=260/4 ×100.

=>x=65×100

=>x=6500Rs.
