Question

janki sold her leather purse at 8% loss.if she had sold it for rupees 150 more she would have made 12% profit. find the selling price of the purse.

Answer 1

YOUR ANSWER
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Let the CP be Rs. x

Sp in case of loss = x - 8% of x
= 92/100 x
= 23/25 x

Sp in case of profit = x + 12% of x
= 112/100 x
= 28/25 x

ACCORDING TO QUESTION
SP in case of profit - Sp in case of loss = 150

=> 28x / 25 - 23x / 25 = 150
=> 5/25 of x = 150
=> 1/5 of x = 150
=> x = 150 × 5
=> x = 750

COST PRICE = 750 Rs.
SELLING PRICE = 23/25 of CP { as discussed above }
= 23/25 × 750
=> 23 × 30
=> Rs. 690

Answer 2

Answer:690

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP be x

Sp in case of loss = x - 8% of x

92/100 x

23/25 x

Sp in profit = x + 12% of x

= 112/100 x

= 28/25 x

ATP

SP in profit - Sp in loss = 150

28x / 25 - 23x / 25 = 150

5/25 of x = 150

1/5 of x = 150

x = 150 × 5

x = 750

CP= 750 Rs.

SP= 23/25 of CP { as said above }

= 23/25 × 750

23 × 30

Rs. 690
