Question

A shopkeeper sell a bag at 12parsent profit if he had sold it for rp 39 more he would have made 18 parsent profit find the cost price of the bag for the shopeer

Answer 1

Let the buying price be x.

The selling price at 12% profit is :

1.12x

If he sells at 39 more the selling price becomes :

1.12x + 39

If he sells at this price the profit is 18% hence we can equate this to 1.18x

1.12x + 39 = 1.18x

39 = 1.18x - 1.12 x

39 = 0.06x

x = 39/0.06

x = 650

The cost price (buying price) = Rs 650

Answer 2

Answer:

650 is the answer ..................
