Let the number be x
5x = rs.4x
4x = rs. 5x
He sells everything at 9x = rs. 9
he bought it at 4/5 + 5/4 = 20 + 20/20= rs. 20
Since the cost price is greater than the selling price it is a loss of rs. 11
5x = rs.4x
4x = rs. 5x
He sells everything at 9x = rs. 9
he bought it at 4/5 + 5/4 = 20 + 20/20= rs. 20
Since the cost price is greater than the selling price it is a loss of rs. 11
