Correct answer will be marked as brainliest...... ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let CP=x

in case I

SP= x*110/100=11x/10

in case II

SP=x*88/100

ATQ

110x/100-88x/100=132

22x/100=132

x=600

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

let CP be x

SP be y

profit% = (y-x)/x × 100

10 = (y-x)/x × 100

=> 1/10 = (y-x)/x

=> x = 10y - 10x

=> 10y - 11x = 0

=> 20y - 22x = 0 ...............(1)

if SP = y-132

loss% = [x - (y-132)] / x × 100

12 = (x-y+132)/x × 100

=> 3/25 = (x-y+132)/x

=> 3x = 25x - 25y + 3300

=> 25y - 22x = 3300 .............(2)

(2) - (1)

=> 25y - 20y = 3300

=> y = 3300/5 = 660

substitute value of y in equation (1)

=> 20(660) - 22(x) = 0

=> 13200 - 22(x) = 0

=> x = 600

therefore, cost price was Rs.600
