Question

Amalbabu has sold a picture at 20% loss. But he made a profit of 5 % if he sold it with ₹200 more. Let us calculate and observe the cost price of the picture he has bought.
Please help me

Answer 1

let x be cost price of product

he sold it for 20% loss

lence selling price is x-(20/100)x

if he had sold it for 5% profit then he can make 200/- more

hence x+(5/100)x=200+(x-(20/100)x)

hence from this we get cost price of product as 800
