Question

Kanta sold a sewing machine at a gain of 16% . Had she sold it for ₹32 more she would have gained 18%. What is the cost price of the sewing machine?​

Answer 1

hi buddy.

here is your answer

let the cost price of the machine be RS=x

profit =16

x × 16/100

=2x × 25

selling price = cost price × profit

=x +2x/25

=25+2x /25

=27x/25

so the selling price is RS =27x/25 + 32

profit =18

x × 18/100

{180-110x}/100 =32

70x =32/100

x=(32× 100)/70

x=45

cost price of sewing machine =45 RS

hope it helps
