19% profit He then learn that he has sold both
the watches at the same price find the cost
Price of both the watches (In Rupees]​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the CP of first watch be ₹ x

Then, the CP of second watch = ₹(480-x)

ATQ,

=>85% of x=119% of 480-x

=>85/100 × x =119/100 × (480-x)

=>x = 480×119/204

=280

CP of first watch = ₹ 280

CP of second watch =₹(480-280)

=₹200

SP of first watch = ₹280(85/100)

=₹238

SP of second watch = ₹200(119/100)

=₹238
