Question

Sunil bought two boxes for 2600. He sold one box at a profit of 20% and the other box at
loss of 129. If the selling price of both boxes is the same, find the cost price of each box​

Answer 1

Answer:

y =1,476.816,x =,1,123.18

Step-by-step explanation:

let the CP of box 1 be = x

Profit = 20%

SP = 20x/100+x

120x/100

let the CP of box 2 be = y

Loss = 129

SP = Y-129

we know , SP is same

so, Y-129 =  120x/100

so, y = 120 x/100 + 129

thus,

120 x/100 + 129 +x = 2600

120x/100 +x = 2600-129

220x/100 = 2,471

220x = 247100

x = 247100/220

x =,1,123.18

putting value of x in , y = 120 x/100 + 129

y =1,476.816
