Question

a milkman sold his buffaloe for rupees 20000 at a loss of 20% find its cost price​

Answer 1

Answer:

buffalo = Rs 20000 The milkman made a gain of 5% while selling one buffalo. This means if C.P. is Rs 100, then S.P. is Rs 105. C.P. of one buffalo =2000×100/105= Rs 19,047.62 Also, the second buffalo was sold at a loss of 10%. This means if C.P. is Rs 100, then S.P. is Rs 90.

Answer 2

Answer:

sp=2000

loss= 20percent

cp= 100×sp/100-loss percent

cp=100×20000/100-20

cp=2000000/80

thus cp= 25000
