 the original selling price be : x and the new selling price is : (2/3) of x = 2x/3
we know CP=(100/(100-Loss))*SP
Where SP is Selling Price. here, Loss = 10% and SP = 2x/3
Now CP=(100/90)*(2X/3)=20X/27 This is the Cost Price for that article.
Selling Price is : x
Gain = Cost Price - Selling Price
=X-20X/27=7X/27
Now Gain%= (7x/27)/(20x/27)= 35%

singhvani: cant we solve it by assuming the SP 100
MOHDSOOFIYANKHAN: No
MOHDSOOFIYANKHAN: hi
singhvani: why
MOHDSOOFIYANKHAN: because SP is 2/7
singhvani: in which of the cases we can assume 100 or X this is the main problem i face while solving the sums can u please make me out
MOHDSOOFIYANKHAN: it's depends what question is asking about
singhvani: so how to guess it
MOHDSOOFIYANKHAN: means what

Answer:

the original selling price be : x and the new selling price is : (2/3) of x = 2x/3

we know CP=(100/(100-Loss))*SP

Where SP is Selling Price. here, Loss = 10% and SP = 2x/3

Now CP=(100/90)*(2X/3)=20X/27 This is the Cost Price for that article.

Selling Price is : x

Gain = Cost Price - Selling Price

=X-20X/27=7X/27

Now Gain%= (7x/27)/(20x/27)= 35%
