Question

if i sell a shirt Rs44 i besr loss .if i sell shirt Rs62 the profit will be 50% of the previous loss .find co of shirt​

Answer 1

Answer:56 Rupees

Step-by-step explanation :

Suppose the cost of the shirt is x rupees.

(1st) selling price =44rs.

and loss= cost of shirt - selling price

=x-44 rs.

If selling price =62 rs.

So, profit = selling price - cost of shirt

= 62- x rs.......(1)

According to question -

The profit = 50% of previous loss

=( x-44 )×50/100

=x-44×1/2

=x-44/2 rs. .....(2)

Now from eq. (1) and (2) :-

62-x =x-44/2

2×(62-x)=x-44

124-2x=x-44

Or 3x=124+44

3x=168

X=168/3=56 rs. Ans.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.41.33

Step-by-step explanation:

SP of shirt = Rs.62

Profit = 50%

Let the CP of shirt be x.

150% of CP = SP

150% of x = Rs.62

150/100x = Rs.62

x = Rs.41.33

Hence, CP of shirt = Rs.41.33
