Question

Rahul sold calculator at a gain of 8% had he sold it for rupees 90 more he would have gained 12% find the cost price of calculator​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of the calculator be X.

Selling price after profit of 8%is X+(8/100)X

=1.08X.

Again if profit is 12% then selling price is

=X+(12/100) X =1.12X

According to question,

1.12X-1.08X = 90

0.04X = 90

X = (90/0.04) = 1500

Thus the cost price of the calculator is Rs 1500.
