Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

 In place of 18% profit an article is sold at 42% profit and

seller gets 110.40 more. Find the selling price of article if it

were sold at 25% profit?

(1)7440 (2) 460 (3) 575 (4) 550

(5) 525​

  Let the cost price of the article be x

  Now according to question we get

  42 x / 100 – 18 x/100 = 110.4

  24 x = 1104

   x = 1104 / 24

   x = 460

   Now selling price of article at 25% profit will be 460 x 125 / 100 = 575
