Question

Mona got 2 dresses for 1648 she is sold one at the profit of 15% and other at loss of 9% if she got the same amount for each dress then find the cost price of each of the dresses

Answer 1

Ok let us do it

Consider X is the price of first dress

cost of second dress is (1648 - X)

Selling price of first dress = X x 115/100 (selling price = cost of dress 100% + profit 15%)

Selling price of second dress = (1640 - X) x 91/100 (selling price = cost of dress 100% - loss 9%)

Selling price of 1st dress = Selling price of second dress

X x 115/100 = (1640 - X) x 91/100

115X/100 = 1640 x 91 - 91X/100

115X + 91X = 1640 x 91

206X = 1640 x 91

X = 1640 x91/206

X = 724.4660

Cost of first fress = Rs. 724.47

Cost of second dress = 1640 - 724.47 = Rs 915.53
