Mr malpani sold his old dinning table and chairs to Mr Mathur for 2860.if by doing so he suffered a loss of 20%,for how much did Mr malpani purchase the chairs and the table?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the CP of chair and table be xand y respectively.

Given,

Rs.760=110%×y+125%×x=1.1x+1.25y

And

Rs.767.5=110%×x+125%×y=1.1y+1.25x

Solving above two equations,

we get,

x=300 and y=350

So, cost of chair=Rs.300.

and cost of chair=Rs.350.

Answer 2

Answer:

(20*2860)/100

2*286

572

2860+572
