Question

a man sold an article for ₹495 and gained 10% on it find the cost price of the article​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Cost Price of the article is ₹450.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales Price = ₹495

Gain = 10%

Let's assume that the Cost Price is ₹x

Therefore. $\frac{495 - x}{x} . 100$% = 10%

$=>\frac{495 - x}{x} . 10 = 1$

$=>10(495 - x) = x$

$=>4950 - 10x = x$

$=> 10x + x = 4950$

$=> 11x = 4950$

∴ $x = \frac{4950}{11} = 450$

∴ The Cost Price of the article is ₹450.

Answer 2

A man sold an article for rs 495 and gain 10% on it find the cost price

Given,

SP = 495

Gain = 10%

CP=100×SP100+gain

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

CP = (100 ×495)/(100 + 10)

CP = (49500)/110

CP = 450
