Answer:

suppose this a ques .so,solve it like this.

Step-by-step explanation:

A man sells an articles at a gain of 10%. If he had bought it for 10% less and sold it for Rs. 10 more, he would have gained 25%. Find the cost price of the article.

Therefore, selling price y=1.1x

According to the question

y+10=1.25(0.9x)

⇒1.1x+10=1.125x

⇒0.025x=10

⇒x=10/0.025

⇒x=400

∴ The cost price of the articles =Rs. 400.
