Answer 1

Hii Dear,

◆ Answer -

Cost price = 25 Rs

● Explanation -

Let x be the cost price for the seller.

He loses 13% by selling a book.

Selling price = x × (100-13)/100

Selling price = 0.87 x

He gains 26% by selling it for 9.75 Rs more.

0.87x + 9.75 = x × (100+26)/100

0.87x + 9.75 = 1.26x

9.75 = 0.39x

x = 25 Rs

Therefore, cost price for the seller was 25 Rs.

Thanks dear...
