Question

.Shikha sold a towel at a loss of 10%. If she had sold it for 15 more, she would have made a profit of 10%. What is the C.P. of the towel?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the cost price of the towel = x

Shikha sold the towel at a loss of 10%.

So the sell price of the towel is

=x-10x/100

=x-x/10

= 9x/10

Now according to the condition,

Sell price+15 = cost price+10% profit

So the algebraic equation is like ,

9x/10 + 15 = x + 10x/100

$\frac{9x + 150}{10 } = \frac{100x + 10x}{100}$

$9x + 150 = \frac{110x}{10}$

90x+1500 = 110x

110x-90x = 1500

20x = 1500

x=1500/20

x=75

The coost price of the towel is 75.

Hope it helps! ! !
