Question

Deepak sold a watch at 5% loss had he sold it for rupees 104 more he would have gained a 10% find the selling price of the watch​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let cp be x

loss on watch= 5%of x

= (5/100)x

=(1/20)x

so, sp= cp-loss

=x-(1/20)x

=(19/20)x

if he sell for 104Rs more

then,

profit=10% of x

=(1/10)x

sp=cp+profit

(19/20)x+104 =x+(1/10)x

(19/20)x+104 =(11/10)x

(11/10)x-(19/20)x=104

( 22x-19x)/20=104

3x=104*20

x=693.34

thus,

sp=(19/20)*693.34

=Rs658.673
