Question

a cycle was sold at a gain of 10% had it been sold for rupees 65 more the gain would have been 14% find the cost price of the cycle​

Answer 1

⇒ let the cp=100

⇒then the cycle is sold at 100×10/100=1p

⇒sp=100+10=110

⇒but if it had been sold at 65

more than gain would be 14%

⇒than sp would be 114

diffrence =114-110=4

⇒4 units =65

⇒1 unit =65/4

⇒then cp=100×65/4

⇒cp=25×65

⇒cp=1625

thanks...
