Question

Kabir sold a watch At a loss of 6/2/3%. Had he sold it for 220/- more, he would have made a profit of 8%. Find the cost price of the watch​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 1222

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sold price of the watch is X when the loss is 6/2/3% which is equal to 9%.

Now x = 100 - 9/100 x C.P = 0.91 x C.P .....(1)

If sold price = x + 220

Then the gain = 8%

Therefore,

x +220 = 100 +9/100 x C.P

x +220 = 1.09 x C.P

Now put the value of x from equation (1)

0.91 x C.P + 220 = 1.09 x C.P

C.P(1.09 - 0.91) = 220

C.P 0.18 = 220

C.P = 220/0.18

C.P = 1222

Sold price = 0.91 x 1222 =  

S.P = 1112
