Harish sold a bicycle at 8% gain. Had it been sold for rupees 375more, the gain would have been 14%. Find the cost price of the bicycle ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the cost price of bicycle be x.

Since, So of the bicycle at the again of 8%=

x + 8% of x

= \frac{108}{100}x

Now,Sp of bicycle at the gain of 14%=

x + 14% of x

= \frac{114}{100} x

A/q

\frac{114}{100}x - \frac{108}{100} x = 75 \\ \frac{114 - 108x}{100} = 75 \\ 6x = 75 \times 100 \\ x = \frac{75 \times 100}{6} \\

x = 1250

Hence,the Cp of the bicycle is 1250
