Question

a man sold a table for $2250 and gained one-ninth of its cost price. find the cost price of the table

Answer 1

supose cp is x
and he gained x/9
and we know that sp-cp=gain or profit
2250-x=x/9
x+x/9=2250
10x=2250*9
x=2250*9/10
x=2025
it means cp is 2025

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost price of the table is $2025.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A man sold a table for $2250 and gained one-ninth of its cost price.

To find : The cost price of the table ?

Solution :

Let the cost price of the table be 'x'.

The selling price of the table is $2250.

Gained is one-ninth of its cost price i.e. $G=\frac{x}{9}$

We know, $Gain=SP-CP$

Substitute the values,

$\frac{x}{9}=2250-x$

$\frac{x}{9}+x=2250$

$\frac{x+9x}{9}=2250$

$10x=2250\times 9$

$x=\frac{2250\times 9}{10}$

$x=2025$

Therefore, The cost price of the table is $2025.
