Question

gopi sold a watch to ibrahim at 12% gain and ibrahim sold it to john at loss of 5% if john paid 1330then find how much did gopi sold it

Answer 1

Let x be the amount at which Ibrahim bought the watch from Gopi. Since Ibrahim sells it at a loss of 5%, the selling price is (1-5/100)*x

i.e. selling price of Ibrahim = 0.95*x.

Since John paid Rs. 1330 for the watch, 0.95*x = 1330.

Therefore, x = 1330/0.95 = Rs. 1400.

Thus, Ibrahim paid Rs. 1400 to Gopi to purchase the watch.

Therefore, Gopi sold the watch for 1400.
