Answer:

Let CP = N, then gain = N/6

According to the question,

N + N/6 = 2450

⇒ 7N/6 = 2450× 6/7 = ₹ 2100

Answer 2

Answer:

2100 RUPEES

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

CP = SP - GAIN

=> CP= 2450 - 1/6 OF CP.......( GIVEN)

=> CP = 2450 - CP/6

=> CP+CP/6 = 2450

=> (6CP+CP) /6 = 2450

=> 7CP= 2450×6

=> CP= 2450×6 / 7

=> CP= 350×6 = 2100 RUPEES

=> COST PRICE OF GOODS= 2100 RUPEES
