Question

If the shopkeeper had bought the item c at 4%less and sold it for Rs. 600 more, he would have gained 75/4% then find the cost price of the item c?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let C.P. of the book be Rs. 100

Profit = 10%. S.P. = Rs. 110

New C.P. = 4% less = Rs. 96

If gain is 1834%

Then S.P.=(11834% of Rs. 96)=Rs.(4754×1100×96)=Rs. 114

Difference in S.P. = Rs. (114 - 110) = Rs. 4

If difference in S.P. is Rs. 4, C.P. = Rs. 100

If difference in S.P. is Rs. 6,

C.P.=Rs.(1004×6)=Rs. 150
