Question

Gaurav sold a watch at a loss of 5 percent if he had sold it for rs 270 more he would have gained 7 percent find the cost price of the watch.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 2250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost price of the watch be Rs. X

So,

(107X/100) - (95X/100) = 270

or, 12X = 27000

or, X = 2250

Hence, the cost price of the watch = Rs. 2250

Answer 2

The cost of watch is 2250 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Gaurav sold a watch at a loss of 5 percent if he had sold it for rs 270 more he would have gained 7 percent.

If he sells his watch for Rs.270 more, he would gain 7%. It means that  he can cover up 5% loss and gain a 7% of profit.

Change in percentage is 5%+7%=12%

That means 12% of a number is 270.

We need to find the number whose 12% is 270.

Let the number is x.

$\frac{12}{100}\times x=270\\ \\0.12x=270\\\\x=\frac{270}{0.12}\\\\x=2250$

Hence, the cost of watch is 2250 rupees.
