Question

A person wanted to sell a scooter at a loss of 25% but at last he changed his mind and sold it for 20% if the difference between the two s.p's is 4000 then at what cost he bought the scooter

Answer 1

Hey sup!

Let the cost price be 100x
Loss= 25%
SP= 25/100x * 100 =25x.

Loss=20%.
Sp=20/100z *100=20x.

So,
=> 25x-20x= 4000.
=>5x=4000.
=>x=4000/5.
=>x=800.

So 100x= 100×800=80000Rs.

So cost price is 80,000Rs.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Loss= 25%

SP= 25/100x * 100 =25x.

Loss=20%.

Sp=20/100z *100=20x.

So,

=> 25x-20x= 4000.

=>5x=4000.

=>x=4000/5.

=>x=800.

So 100x= 100×800=80000Rs.

So cost price is 80,000Rs.

Hope it helps.
