Question

A profit of 25% is made when an article is sold for 625. Find the profit per cent of the article is sold for 650.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let's assume x is the cost price of that article. Selling price of it is 500 which is less than cost price. So loss incurred is x-500.

Now had the article been sold for 700, there would be profit 3 times the loss.

So the equation will be:

700-X=3(X-500)

700-X=3X-1500

4X =2200

X=550.Thus the cost price of the article is Rs.550.
