Question

Arvind Sold His watch at 8% loss. if he had sold his watch for 54 rupees more he would have made a profit of 8%. find selling price of the watch.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the SP be Rs x

loss%= 5%

CP of watch = 10/100-8*x = 100/92*x = 25x/23

now CP = rs 25x/23 and gain% = 8%

then SP = (108/100)*(25x/23) = 108x/92

108x/92 - x = 54 = (108x - 92x)=(54*92)

16x = 4968

x = 4968/16

SP = 310.50 rs.
