Answer 1

Question:-

• A trader sell an article for rs 600 gaining 1/10 of his outly. find the cost price of the article.

Answer:-

Let cost price be 'x'.

The profit is 1/10 of the cost price.

Trader sells an article at ₹ 600.

Selling price = cost price + profit

600 = x + 1/10

600 = 1/10x

600 = 1.1x

600/1.1 = x

x = 545.45 (approximately)

So, Cost price = 545.45

Solution:-

• Cost price is 545.45 (approximately).
