Question

An article was sold at a loss of 10% .had it been sold for rs 38 more there would have been a profit of 9% . Find the cp of article

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the CP of article be x

An article was sold at a loss of 10% .

$SP=\frac{CP (100-L\%)}{100}$

$SP=\frac{x (100-10)}{100}$

$SP=\frac{90x}{100}$

If An article was sold at a profit of 10% .

So, $SP=\frac{CP (100+P\%)}{100}$

$SP=\frac{x (100+10)}{100}$

$SP=\frac{110x}{100}$

An article was sold at a loss of 10% .had it been sold for rs 38 more there would have been a profit of 9%

$\frac{110x}{100}-\frac{90x}{100}=38$

$\frac{20x}{100}=38$

$x=190$

Hence the cp of article is Rs.190
