kumar maya purchased two cows for 1300.she sold one cow at a profit 20% and another cow at loss of 12% if the sale price for both the cows are same, find the purchase price for each cow. answer pdf​

Answer 1

Answer:

SP1=SP2

SP1 = 20% loss = 80% of CP

SP2 = 20% profit = 120% of CP

SP1/SP2 = 80/120 = 2/3

CP of two cows = 18500 rs

CP1 = 2*(18500/(2+3)) =7400 rs

CP2 = 3*(18500/(2+3)) = 11100 rs
