Question

Find SP when CP is 380 rupees and gain is 6.25%

Answer 1

SP of first article = Rs 375

Gain % = 25%

Let the CP of the article be Rs x.

so,

x=300 (by solving above)

∴ CP of first article = Rs 300

SP of second article = Rs 375

Loss % = 25%

Let the CP of the second article be Rs y.

so,

y=500 (by solving above)

then,

∴ CP of second article = Rs 500

∴ Combined CP of 2 articles = 300 + 500 = Rs 800

Combined SP of 2 articles = 375 + 375 = Rs 750

As CP > SP, this is a case of loss.

loss%=6.25%
