Question

article was sold at a gain of 15% had it been sold for rupees 108 more the profit would have been 20% find its cost price

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 2160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say cost price = c

15% gain = (15/100)×c = 0.15c

20% gain = (20/100)×c = 0.2 c

0.2c - 0.15c = 108

0.05c = 108

C = 108/0.05

C = 2160

Answer 2

The cost price would be Rs. 2160.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

article was sold at a gain of 15% had it been sold for rupees 108 more the profit would have been 20%

Let the cost price be 'x'.

According to question, it becomes,

$\dfrac{20}{100}x-\dfrac{15}{100}x=108\\\\\dfrac{5}{100}x=108\\\\\dfrac{x}{20}=108\\\\x=20\times 108\\\\x=2160$

Hence, the cost price would be Rs. 2160.
