Answer 1

Answer:

80000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of the scooter be x.

(i) He sells scooter at a loss of 25%.

Selling price = x - 25% of x

                     = x - (25x/100)

                     = 75x/100

(ii) He sells scooter at a loss of 20%, then

Selling price = x - 20% of x

                     = x - (20x/100)

                     = 80x/100.

Now,

Difference in two selling price is 4000.

=> (80x/100) - (75x/100) = 4000

=> (5x/100) = 4000

=> 5x = 400000

=> x = 80000

∴ Cost price of the scooter = 80000.

Hope it helps!
