A man purchased a Bullock and a cart for rupees 1800 he sold the Bullock at a profi 20% and the cart at a profit of 30% .his total profit was 155/6%. Find the cost price of Bullock

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost Price of bullock and cart = Rs. 1800.

Let bullock price was X and cart price was (1800 - X)

SP of both = 1800 + 155/6% of 1800 = 2265

Profit = Rs. 465.

X + 20% of X + (1800 - X) + 30% of (1800 -X) = 2265

1.2X + 1800 -X + (54000 - 30X)/100 = 2265

1.2X + 1800 -X + 540 - 0.3X = 2265

1.2X - 1.3X = 2265 - 1800 - 540

- 0.1X = - 75

X = 750.

Cost of bullock is Rs. 750.
