Question

Rekha sold an almirah at a loss of 4%. If she
had sold it for ₹ 215 more, she would have
made a profit of 6%. Find the C.P. of her almirah.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rekha sold an almirah at a loss of 4%.

$sp = \frac{104}{100} \times \: cp$

If she had sold it for ₹ 215 more, she would have

made a profit of 6%.

$sp + 215 = \frac{110}{100} \times cp$

On subtraction the equation

$215 = \frac{6}{100} \times cp \\ cp = 3,583.33$

Find the C.P. of her almirah.
