Question

a person bought two watches for 480rs. he sold one at a loss of 15% and the other at profit of 19% and he found that each watch was sold at same price. find the cost prices of the two watches.​

Answer 1

Answer:

rs.200

Step-by-step explanation:

cost price 1st watch= rs. x

2nd watch = rs. (480-x)

A/q,

85% of x= 119% of (480-x)

solving we get, x = rs.280

So, cost price of first watch= rs.280 and

cost price of 2nd watch = rs.(480-280)= rs.200
