Question

a man sells an article at the profit of 25% if he had bought it 20% less and sold it for rupees 36.75 less he would have gained 30% find the cost price of article plz anwser in way by methodd plz plz

Answer 1

Let C.P =100

Gain =25%

S.P = 100 + 25% of 100 = 125



Supposed C.P =80

Gain =30%

S.P =(130*80)/100=104

Difference =(125-104) =21



Now comparing difference

21 on 100

1 on 100/21

So, 36.75 on = (36.75*100)/21 = 175

So, required CP = Rs. 175..
