Question

A cycle was sold at a gain of 10%. Had it been sold for 260 more, the pain would have been
14%. Find the cost price of the cycle,
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price of the cycle would beRs.6500

Answer 2

Answer:

let the CP of cycle be x

SP of cycle at 10% gain=(100+10/100*x)=11/10x

SP of cycle at 14% gain=(100+14/100*x)=57/50x

therefore, 57/50x-11/10x=260

=2/50x=260

=x=260*50/2

x=6500
