Answer: RS 168
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C.P. = Rs. P
S.P. = (C.P.) - (Loos) = P - P/7 = Rs. 6P/7
∵ 6P / 7 = 144
∴ P = (144 x 7) / 6 = Rs. 168
Hence, no Loss and no gain

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By selling an article for rs144, a man loses 1/7 th of his outlay.
Let the cost price be x
then. x - (1/7)x =144
x - x/7 = 144
7x-x/7 = 144
6x/7 = 144
6x = 144×7
x= 144×7/6 = 168 is the cost price..
If it is sold for rs 189, selling Price= 189
Selling Price>cost price
189>168
so profit exists
Profit /Gain
= selling Price - cost price
= 189 - 168
= 21
Gain Percentage = (Gain/cost price)×100
=(21/168)×100
=2100/168
=12.5%
