Question

. A saree is sold for Rs. 825 at a profit of 10 %. Its cost
price is
a) Rs. 905.50
b) Rs.742.50
d) Rs. 835
c) Rs. 750​

Answer 1

Let CP = x
SP = x + 20% of x = 1.2 x
New CP = x - 100
New SP = 1.2x - 100
New profit,
1.2x - 100 - x + 100 = 0.2x
New profit = 25 % of (x - 100)
25 % of (x - 100) = 0.2x
0.2x = [25 *(x - 100) / 100]
20x = 25x - 2500
5x = 2500
x = 500
So, the cost price was Rs. 500
