Answer 1

Step by Step Solution

let, the cost price is=x Rs

now;

it is sold at a gain of 15%.

therefore selling price is

=x(1+15/100)

=(115x/100)Rs........(i)

now....if it is sold for 108 Rs more then there would have been 20%profit.

so.

=>(115x/100)+108=x(1+20/100)

=>115x+10800=120x

=>5x=10800

=>x=10800÷5

=>x=2160

ans) the cost price of the tricycle is 2160 Rs.
