Question

I purchased two tables for ₹600.I sold one at a loss of 15% and other at a gain of 19%. If the selling price of both the tables be equal , find the cost price of each tables
​

Answer 1

let cp of one table be x and other be 600-x

loss%=15 and gain%= 19

loss=15/100 and gain=19/100

loss=.15 and gain=.19

Sp of both table be equal

sp-cp =gain cp-sp=loss

gain+cp= sp cp-loss=sp

x+0.19=600-x-0.15

2x=600-0.34

x=299.33

and 600-x=300.67

299.33 and 300.67
