Question

a table was sold at loss of 10%. if it were sold for Rs 70 more, there would have been a gain of 4%. find the cost price of table.

Answer 1

Loss = 10% , in that 4% is 70 , 4*2.5=10 , 70*2.5 =185 , 1% = 185/10=18.5

1*100=100

18.5 *100=1850

Answer 2

The cost price of table is Rs.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be x

Loss% = 10%

SP = CP - Loss

SP = x-0.1x

SP = 0.9x

if it were sold for Rs 70 more, there would have been a gain of 4%.

SP = 0.9x+70

SP  CP+Gain

0.9x+70=x+0.04x

0.9x+70=1.04x

70=1.04x-0.9x

70=0.14x

$\frac{70}{0.14}=x$

500=x

Hence The cost price of table is Rs.500
