each. He sold first article at a profit of 20% and
second article at a profit of x%. If combined selling
price of both the articles is 13000, then the value
of x is
(1) 20
(2) 30
(3) 40
(4) 25​

Answer 1

Answer:

3] 40

Step-by-step explanation:

articles purchased for 5000 each

then the selling rate of one book = [5000 @ 20%]+5000 = 1000 + 5000 = 6000

then 13000 - 6000 = 7000

then 7000 - 5000 = the profit earned for the second book = 2000

2000 x 100 = 40%

5000
