Question

A person sold a horse at a gain of 15%..Had he bought it for 25% less and sold it for Rs 600. less,he would have made a profit of 32%.The cost price of horse was? *

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Horse CP = 100%

gain SP = 115%

If bought 25% less means CP = 75%

Profit 32% means = 32% of 75 = 24%

here SP = 99%

Compare previous Rs. 600

So 115% - 99% = 16%

finally 16% = 600

So CP = RS 3750

Answer 2

Answer:

₹3750

Step-by-step explanation:

CP₁ : SP₁ = 100:115 = 20:23

CP₂ : SP₂ = 75:99 = 15 : 19.8

{ SP2= 75+(75×32/100) }

SP1 - SP2 = 3.2

3.2 => 20 ,Then

600 => 20×600/3.2 =>3750
