Question

A watch was sold at a profit
sold at a profit of 12%, had
it been sold for 33 more, the profit
would have been 14% • Find the
CP of the watch.​

Answer 1

A toy was sold at a gain of 12%. If it had been sold for ₹33 more, the gain would have been 14%. What is the cost of the toy?

Ring in the new year with good sleep.

Let the C P of the toy = Rs.1oo

If the gain is 12%, the first S P = 100 + 12 = Rs.112

If he had been sold Rs.33 more gain = 14 %

Therefore second S P = 100 = 14 = Rs 114 .

Difference in second S P and first S P = Rs.2 [ 114 - 112=2]

If Rs,2 is the difference in S P , cost price = Rs. 100

If the difference in S P is Rs.33, cost price = 100/2*33= 50 x 33 = Rs1650
