Question

a man sold shop for Rs 6.000 and lost something.had he ssold it for Rs 7.550 his gain would have been double the former loss .find the cost price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

6500

Explanation:

Let the cost price of watch is Rs. x

Then loss = Rs. x−6000

If watch sold Rs. 7500, then profit = Rs. 7500−x  

Given gain has been double the loss  

Then 7500−x=2(x−6000)

⇒7500−x=2x−1200

⇒x=6500

Therefore, the cost price of the watch is Rs. 6500.
