Question

A tricycle is sold at a gain of 15%.Had it been sold for rs 108 more the profit would have been 20%.Find it's cost price?????????????????????????????

Answer 1

Let the cost of the tricycle be x.

Given that it is sold at a gain of 15% = 15x/100.

Given that if it sold for 108 the profit would have been 20% = 20x/100.

20x/100 - 15x/100 = 108

5x/100 = 108

5x = 10800

x = 2160.


The cost price of the tricycle  = 2160.


Hope this helps!
