Question

Plz solve question 23,24 ....urgent.Correct answer will be marked as....

Answer 1

23. Let, the cost price =x

Gain= (1/6)x

So the selling price =x+(1/6)x


=6x+x/6 => 7x/6

But the selling price of the item= rs 322

Therfore, 7x/6=322

7x=322x6

X=1932/7

X=276

So, the cost price =276

Therefore, gain price=sp-cp

=322-276

=46

So, the gain percent =(46/276)100

=16.67%

Answer 2

ANSWER 23

LET THE COST PRICE = X

IF THERE IS A PROFIT SELLING PRICE = COST PRICE + PROFIT

SELLING PRICE = 322 ,  COST PRICE = X,  PROFIT = 1/6 OF X

322 = X +1/6 OF X

322 = X+1X/6

322= 7X/6

322×6 = 7X

1932 = 7X

1932/7 = X

276 = X

HENCE, COST PRICE =276

PROFIT=1/6 OF COST PRICE

PROFIT=1/6 OF 276

PROFIT=46

PROFIT%=46/276×100

PROFIT%=16.66%

ANSWER 24

LET THE ORIGINAL HEIGHT = X

16%OF X = 29

16/100×X=29

8/50×X=29

8X/50=29

8X=29×50

8X=1540

X=1540/8

X=192.5

HENCE, THE ORIGINAL HEIGHT IS 192.5
