Question

An article was sold at a profit of 7%. If it had been sold for Rs.276 more, he fould have gained 10%. Find the cost price

Answer 1

Answer:

Let sp be x

C.P:(100 plus P)percent of S.P

(100 plus 7)/100 *x

107x/100:1.07x .........equation 1

Again:

C.p:(100plus 10)percent of (xplus Rs 276)

110/100 * (x plus 276)

1.1*(x plus 276)

1.1 xplus 303.6......... equation 2

From 1 and 2 we get

Cp:Cp

1.07x:1.1x plus 303.6

1.07x-1.1x : 303.6

0.03x:303.6

x: Rs10120 S.p:Rs 10120

Put 10120 in equation 1

C.p:1.07x

1.07*10120

Rs10828.4
