Answer 1

Let the cost price of the item be 'x'.

Given, gain = 5%

Selling price = 105x/100.

Now,

Given that selling price of an item is reduced by 50.

⇒ (105x/100) - 50

Given that there is a loss of 5%.

⇒ x * [(100 - 5)/100] = (105x/100) - 50

⇒ (95x/100) = (105x/100) - 50

⇒ 95x = 105x - 5000

⇒ 10x = 5000

⇒ x = 5000/10

⇒ x = 500.

Hence, cost price = 500.

Now,

Selling price = 105x/100

                      = 105(500)/100

                      = 52500/100

                      = 525.

Therefore, selling price of the item = 525.

Hope this helps!
