Question

Jeevan sold his watch at rupees 2350 and incurred a loss of rupees 250. At what price had he bought the watch?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let C.P of watch be Y

S.P of which be Y

Loss %=(C.P−S.P)/C.P×100

10=(x−y)/x×100

x=10x−10y

x=

9

10

×y

If he sold it for 54 more, he would made 8% profit

Profit %=(S.P−C.P)/C.P×100

8=(y+54−x)/x×100

8x=100y+5400−100x

108x−100y=5400

Plugging the value of x in above equation

108×10/9×y−100y=5400

120y−100y=5400

20=5400

y=270
