Question

A man sold an article for Rs .495 and gained 10% on it find the cost of an article?​

Answer 1

Answer:

CP = 450

Step-by-step explanation:

SP = ₹495

Gain ℅ = 10%

Let the CP be ₹x

A/q

x + 10% of x = 495

=> x + 10/100 × x = 495

=> x + x/10 = 495

=> ( 10x + x )/10 = 495

=> 11x/10 = 495

=> 11 x = 495 × 10

=> x = 4950/11

= 450

Hence,

The CP of an article is ₹450 .
