Question

Difference between two sellingprice of a tshirt with profit of 4% and 5% respectively is rs 6 find

c.p of the tshirt and s.p of each tshirt

Answer 1

(1) Let the C.P of shirt be Rs. x.

As, S.P = C.P (1 + % gain)

∴ (S.P)1 – (S.P)2 = x (1 + 0.05) – x(1 + 0.04)

6=x(1+0.05-1-0.04)

x(0.01)=6

x=600

Hence, C.P shirt = Rs. 600.

(2) S.P = C.P (1 + % gain)

⇒ (S.P)1 = 600 (1 + 0.05)

⇒ (S.P)1 = 600 (1.05)

⇒ (S.P)1 = 630

(S.P)2 = 600 (1 + 0.04) = 624

Hence, selling prices of shirt are Rs. 630 and Rs. 624 at gains of 5% and 4% respectively.
