Question

Sohini has 8,943 with her. She wants to
buy a shirt and a pair of trousers worth
1,843 and 3,793, respectively. Estimate if
the amount she has is enough for making
these purchases.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi ,

i )Let the cost price of the trousers = x ------------( 1 )

ii ) cost price of the shirt = 12% more than cost price

if the trousers

= x ( 100 + 12) /100

= x × 112 /100

= (112x / 100 )-------( 2 )

According to the problem,

Cost price of the shirt + cost prise of pair of trousers = 371

x + ( 112 x /100 ) = 371

( 100x + 112x ) /100 = 371

212x = 371 × 100

x = ( 7× 53 × 4 × 25 )/ ( 4 × 53 )

After cancellation,

x = 7 × 25

x = 175

Therefore ,

Cost price of the trousers = x = 175

I hope this helps you.
