Question

Sandeep sold a television at a loss of 8%. If he had sold it for Rs. 3360 more, he would have gained 6% . For how much did sandeep buy it?

Answer 1

let cp = 100%

here (6 + 8 ) % =14% =3360

1% = 240

100 % = 24000

c.p. = 24000

Hope it will help

Answer 2

Let the cost price of the TV be Rs x.

Given, in first case, loss percent = 8 %

and in second case, gain percent = 6%

According to the question,

(100 + 6)% of x - (100 - 8)% of x = 3360

106x/100 - 92x/100=3360
14x/100=3360
14x=3360×100
x=336000/14
x=24000

Therefore,the cost price of the TV set is Rs 24000.
