Question

Rajni sold a pressure cooker at a loss of 8%. Had she bought it for 10% less and sold it for ₹176 more she would have gained 25%. Find the cost price

Answer 1

Given :

Rajni gained loss = 5 % .

To find :

The cost price ?

Solution :

First now selling price which is SP = 100 × 0.92

= Rs. 92.

As we know , if she bought at 10 % loss

Then , CP = Rs. 90.

Therefore , SP= 90 × 1.25 = 112.5

So, here we can see difference is 16 which is (11.25 - 92 ) when C.P 100.

Therefore, difference will be 176 when C.P will be 328.

Hence, C.P = Rs. 328.

☆Additional Information ☆

C.P : The C.P is the cost price in which if the particular thing amount which we pay.

S.P : The S.P is the selling price in which particular thing we will take amount by adding more amount than C.P

For Example : If I buy a car of Rs. 1 lakh .

So the 1 lakh ruppes is my C.P .

And if i sell , the car in 1 lakh , 50 thousand so the profit I'll make is 50 thousand. which is known as selling price in which we sell.

C.P = Cost Price.

S.P = Selling Price
