Question

chinmoy sold his radio set 10% loss. if he had sold it for rs. 45 more he would have made 5% profit. for how much did he sell the radio

Answer 1

the cost price is Rs 300
the selling price is Rs 270

Answer 2

Answer:

270

Step-by-step explanation:

Chinmoy sold his radio set 10 % loss;

Let, the cost price be x;

Now, we have to find 10 % of x;

= x/10

So selling price of the radio would be x - x/10

= 9x/10

If he had sold Rs 45 more, he would have made 5 % profit.

5 % profit of the selling price would be x/20

9x/10 + 45 = 21x/20

x/20 = 15

x = 300

∴ The cost price would be Rs 300.

So, the selling price would be 300 - 10 % of 300

= Rs 270

So, the selling price would be Rs 270
