Question

Parvinder sold a watch at a loss of 5% if he sold that watch for 27 more he would have gained 7% find the cost price of the watch ​

Answer 1

Answer:

C.P = 225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the C.P of the watch be x.

S.P when loss is 5% = 95x/100

S.P when profit is 7% = 107x/100

ATQ,

95x/100 + 27 = 107x/100

95x + 2700/100 = 107x/100

10700x = 9500x + 270000

1200x = 270000

x = 270000/1200

x = 225

C.P = 225

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost price is Rs.225.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There is a Loss of 5%

if he had sold that was for this 27 more he would have gained 7%.

Let the cost price be 'x'.

ATQ,

100/107x − 100/95x =27

1.07x−0.95x=27

0.12x=27

x =27/0.12

x=225

Hence, the cost price is Rs.225
