Question

a cycle was sold at a loss of 8%. had it been sold for rs 56 more, there would have been a gain of 8%. what is the cost price of the bucket. ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let cp be 100

loss 8%

sp=92

for gain of 8%

sp= 108

the difference between the sp =108-92=16

but the difference is not 16 but 7/2 more than it

similarly the cp is not 100 but 7/2 more than it which is 50*7=350
