Question

Renu sold an article at a loss of 8% had she bought it at 10% less and sold for Rs 36 more he would have gained 20% find the cost price of the article

Answer 1

$here \: is \: your \: answer$


↪Let the cost price of the article be Rs 100.

Given ,

Renu sold it at loss of 8%

Hence,

↪ the selling price = Rs 100 – Rs 8 = Rs 92

It is given that if she had purchased it at 10 % less

The new CP = Rs 100 – Rs 10 = Rs 90.

↪Given that she will get a gain of 20% on it.

Hence ,new SP = Rs 90 + Rs 18 = Rs 108

↪Therefore the difference in SP = Rs 108 – Rs 92 = Rs 16

Given the difference in SP = Rs 36

$initial \: cp = 100 \times \frac{36}{16} = 225$

⭐Thus the initial cost price is Rs 225.
