Answer 1

Given:-

• Mr. Shah sold a sofa at a gain of 15%. Had he sold it for 340 less, he would have  lost 2%.

To find:-

• At what price did Mr. Shah purchase it?​

Solution:-

Let the CP  be Rs x .

• SP = CP + Profit

=>SP = x + 15 x / 100

=> SP = 115x / 100 = 115x / 100

loss = 2%

If it have been sold for Rs 340

=> 98x / 100 = 115x / 100 - 340

=> 340 = (115x - 98x) / 100

=> 340 = 17x / 100

=> x = 340 * 100 / 17

=> x = 2,000

Hence, required price is Rs.2,000.
