On selling a cycle for Rs. 9449, a salesman gains 1⁄10 of it's cost price. Find the cost price of the cycle.​

Answer 1

cost price =?

Selling price =9449

Gain =1/10%

Let cost price be x

Cost price + Gain% of Cost price = Selling price

x + 1/10× x = 9449

x + x/10= 9449

10x + x = 9449

10

11x = 9449

10

x = 9449×10

11

x = 94490

11

x = 8590Rs

Verify

Cost price+ Gain% of Cost price = Selling price

8590 + 1/10 × 8590 = 9449

8590 + 8490 = 9449

9449 = 9449
