Question

. A shopkeeper sold a racket at a loss of 26%. Had he sold it for ₹144 more, he would have gained 22%. Find the cost price of racket.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost price is Rs. 300

Step-by-step explanation:

So Rs.144 represents 48% (26% + 22%) of the total cost price.

⇒ 144 = (48*Cost Price)/100

⇒14,400 = 48* Cost Price

⇒Cost Price = 14400/48

⇒Cost Price = Rs. 300
