Question

a man sells an article at a gain of 5% if he had sold it at rs 63 less we would have lost 2 % find the cost of the article ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let CP be x

1st SP =

X + 5% of X= x+5/100x=(100+5)x/100=105/100

2nd SP=

X - 2% of X =x-2/100x=(100-2)x/100=98/100

105/100x-98/100x=63

7/100x=63

X=63×100/7

X=900
