Question

A shopkeeper sells his article at 5% applicable, if he had sold that article at Rs 180 less price he would have lost 15% then find the cost price of the article.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original cost price be Rs.100.

Selling price to gain 5% = Rs.105

Selling price to gain 5% = Rs. 95

Difference in selling price = Rs.10

If difference is Rs.10,

then original cost price is Rs.100

If difference is Rs.16.50, then original cost price = (100/10)×16.50 = Rs. 165
