Question

a house was sold at a gain of 10% had it been sold for rupees 3000 more the gain would have been 15% find the cost of the house​

Answer 1

The cost of the house is ₹60,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Let the cost of the house is ₹x.

A house was sold at a gain of 10% had it been sold for rupees 3000 more the gain would have been 15%.

That means,

$= > \: (x + \frac{10}{100} x) + 3000 = (x + \frac{15}{100} x)$

$= > \: (x + 0.10x) + 3000 = (x + 0.15x)$

$= > \: 1.10x + 3000 = 1.15x$

$= > \: 1.15x - 1.10x = 3000$

$= > \: 0.05x = 3000$

$= > \: x = \frac{3000 \times 100}{5}$

$= > \: x = 60000$

The cost of the house is ₹60,000.
