Question

a dealer gets rupees 940 more if instead of selling a table at a loss of 10% it is sold at a gain of 10% find the cost price of the table​

Answer 1

Solution :

Let, the cost price be x Rs.

As we know that :

S.P. = C.P. × (100+P%)/100 and

S.P. = C.P. × (100-Loss%)/100

According to the question :

$x \times \frac{(100 + 10)}{100} - x \times \frac{(100 - 10)}{100} = 940 \\ \\ = \frac{110x}{100} - \frac{90x}{100} = 940 \\ \\ = > 20x = 94000 \\ \\ = > x = \frac{94000}{20} = 4700$

So, the cost price will be 4700 Rs.
