Question

A dealer sells a toy for ₹24 and gain as much percent as the cost price of the toy. Find the cost price of toy.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, x = -120 will be neglected. Then the value of x = 20. Hence the cost price of the toy is Rs. 20.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the cost price of the toy be Rs. x. 

Then gain x% Gain Rs.(x×100x)=Rs.100x2

S.P=C.P+Gain =x+100x2

But S.P=Rs.24

⇒x+100x2=24

⇒100x+x2=2400⇒x2+100x−2400=0

⇒x2+120x−20x−2400=0⇒x(x+120)−20(x+120)=0

⇒(x+120)(x−20)=0⇒x=20,−120⇒x=20

Hence the cost price of the toy is Rs. 20
