Question:
A man sells an article at a gain of 10%.
If he had bought it at 10% less and solid it for 132 less rupees. He would have still gained 10%. What is the cost of the article ?
To find ?
Cost of the article.
Answer:
Let the cost price (C.P.) be x rupees.
Gain = 10%
Selling Price (S.P.) = 110x/100,
New C.P. = 90x/10
New S.P. = 110% of 9x/10
= 99x/100,
11x/10 – 99x/100 = 132
=> 11x/100 = 132
=> x = (132 × 100)/11 = 1200 rupees.
Hence, the cost price of the article is 1200 rupees.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let C.P is 100. P = 10 % , S.P = 100 x 110 /100 = 110
new C .P = 100 -10 = 90 , P = 10 % , S.P = 90 x110/100 = 99
difference in S.P = 110 -99= 11
If difference is 11 , then C.P = 100
if difference is 132, then C.P = 100 x 132 /11 = 100 x 12 = Rs 1200
