Answer:
160
Step-by-step explanation:
Method-1:
Let the cost price of the article be 'x'.
(i) 15% Gain:
Selling price = x + 15% of x
= x + (15/100) * x
= (115/100) * x
= (23/20)x.
(ii) 10% Less:
Cost price = x - 10% of x
= x - (10/100) * x
= (90/100) * x
= (9/10)x
(iii) 25% Profit:
Selling price = (9x/10) + 25% of 9x/10
= (9x/10) + (25/100) * (9x/10)
= 9x/8
According to the question,
⇒ (23x/20) - (9x/8) = 4
⇒ x/40 = 4
⇒ x = 160.
∴ Cost price of the article = 160.
Method - 2:
Let the cost price of the article be 100.
Then, Selling price = 115.
Cost price at 10% less = 90.
New Selling price at 25% profit = 125% of 90
= 112.5
Difference between the Selling prices = 115 - 112.5
= 2.5
When difference is 2.5, then CP = 100.
When difference is 4, then CP = (100 * 4)/2.5
= 160.
∴ Cost price of the article = 160.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
160
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume cost price be 100.
Selling price will be 115.
When 10% loss, Cost price = 90
When 25% profit, Selling price = 125% of 90 = 112.5
Difference = 115 - 112.5 = 2.5
if difference is 2.5, then the cost price = 100.
If difference is 4, then cost price = (100 * 4)/2.5 = 160.
So, Cost price of the article = 160.
