Question

A saree was sold at a gain of 10%. Had it been sold for ₹63 more, the gain would have been 25% ?Find
the cost price of the saree.​

Answer 1

let CP = 100%

gain = 10% means his SP = 110%

if he sold 63₹ more means 110% + 63₹ then it will be equal to 25% more , means 125%

so, 110%+63=125% or 15% = 63₹

if 15% = 63 then 100% (CP) = (63/15)×100 = 420₹
