Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let the cost price be x rupees
loss percentage= 10%(l=10)
selling price= cp(1-l/100)
= x*(1-10/100)
= x*90/100
=9x/10
second condition if he had sold it at 65 rupees more, gain percentage=14%(p=14)
so we can use this gain % and the cost price to find the selling price
selling price= x*(1+14/100)
= x*114/100
= 114x/100
according to the question,
9x/10 + 65 = 114x/100
= 114x/100 - 9x/10 = 65 ( using laws of transposition in linear equation)
= (114x-90x)/100 = 65
= 24x/100=65
= x= 65*100/24
= x=270.83 rupees.
hence the cost price of the cycle is 270.83 rupees.
