Question

A man bought a horse and a carriage for rs 3000 sold at 20% and loss 10%

Answer 1

please make it as brainlist.

Let the C.P of the horse be Rs. x

then C.P of the carriage =Rs (3000-x)

20% of x-10% of (3000-x) =2% of 3000

=x/5-(3000-x)/10=60

=2x-3000+x=600=3x+3600

=x =1200

=hence, C.P of the horse =Rs 1200
