Question

if a shopkeeper sold two articles each for 1560rs . he secured 20%profit on the first article and 30% profit on other ..what was the total cost price of both the articles

Answer 1

Answer:

rs2500

Step-by-step explanation:

let C.P of first article be x

S.P = 1560

profit= 20% on C.P

we know that C.P + profit = S.P

so, x + (20/100)*x = 1560

on solving we get x as 1300

Similarly l

let C.P of the second article be y

S.P = 1560

profit= 30% on C.P

Solve in the same way

in the end add both the cost price i.e. x+y
