Answer:

Cp is 600

Step-by-step explanation:

let the initial CP is 100x

A shopkeeper sells his goods at 20x profit.

Profit=SP-CP

20 x=SP-100x

SP=120x

had he purchased it for 10% less and sold it rs 18 less than he would have gained 30%.

if he purchased 10% of x less

CP=100x-10x

CP=90 of x

SP=120 of x-18

Profit%=((SP-CP)/CP)*100

30 =((120 x-18-90 x)/90x)*100

30=30x-18/90x*100

27x=30x-18

3x=18

x=6

CP=100*6

CP=600
