Question

A toy.
car is sold at a gain of 16%
Had it been sold for ₹100 more, the
gain would have
been 20%. find the cp of the toy car.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2900 rs

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sp of the car is x rs

then the cp of the car is x × 100/116

=100x/116

if the sp of car 100rs more

then it cp is,(x+100)×100/120

the cp of car is,

100x/116=(x+100)×100/120

=>100x/116=(x+100)×5/6

=>600x=580(x+100)

=>600x=580x+58000

=>600x-580x=58000

=>20x=58000

=>x=58000/20

=>x=2900

therefore, the cost price of car is 2900rs
