Question

at a losn article when sold at a profit of 5% .yieldd rs 50 more than when sold as of 5%.find cp of the articles

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppose the CP of the article = Rs. 100

I case :

Profit =5%

SP = 100+5 = Rs. 105

II case :

Loss =5%

SP = CP − loss = 100−5 = Rs. 95

Difference between two SP's

= 105−95 = Rs. 10

If the difference = Rs. 10, then CP = Rs. 100

If the difference = Rs. 15, then CP = 10100 ×15= Rs. 150
