Question

A person sold an article at a profit of 15%If he sold it for RS 81 less his loss would have been 12% find the cost price of the article?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let cp be x

sp= 115x/100 ---(when 15%gain) sp=88x/100-----(when 12% loss

according to question

115x/100-88x/100 = 81

or, (115x-88x)= 8100

or, 27x8100

or, x= 8100/27

x = 300

hence cp is RS 300
