Question

If a cricket bat is sold at a profit of 5% instead of a loss of 5%, the seller gets Rs. 75 more. The CP of the cricket bat is
360 650 750 1400

Answer 1

Answer:

The C.P of the cricket bat is ₹750

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey Mate,

C.P = Cost Price

Suppose,

C.P = X

5% Profit = $X+\frac{X*5}{100}$           Eq (1)

5% Loss =  $X-\frac{X*5}{100}$             Eq(2)

Difference = ₹75

So,

Eq (1) - Eq (2)

$(X+\frac{X*5}{100})$ - $(X-\frac{X*5}{100})$ = 75

=> 10X/100 =75

=> X = 75 * 10

=> X = ₹750

The C.P of the cricket bat is ₹750
