Answer 2

Answer:

Rs. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the cost price of the table is Rs. x.

The man sold the table at a loss of 20%.

So, the selling price was $x(1 - \frac{20}{100} ) = 0.8x$.

Given that if he has sold that table for Rs. 12 more then his gain might be 10%.

Therefore, the equation we can write as

$0.8x + 12 = x(1 + \frac{10}{100})$  

⇒ 0.8x + 12 = 1.1x

⇒ 0.3x = 12

⇒ x = 40 Rs.

Therefore, the cost price of the table was Rs. 40. (Answer)
