Answer:
Given : A shopkeeper sold a watch at a profit of 12% . If he had sold it for 144 more he would have made a profit of 18%.
To find : The cost price of the watch ?
Let the cost price of the watch = x
A shopkeeper sold a watch at a profit of 12%.
The price is p = x 12/100 X x = 1.12x
He sell the article for Rs. 12 more
The Selling Price is SP = 1.12x + 12
According to the question,
18 = 1.12x + 12 - x / x X 100
18 = 1.12x + 12 / x X 100
0.18x = 0.12x = 12
0.06x = 12
x = 12 / 0.06
x = 200
The cost price of the watch is Rs.200.
