Question

The cost price of a desk and a chair is Rs. 371. If the desk costs 12 % more than the chair. Find the cost price of each.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of desk = ₹ 175 and

The cost of chair = ₹ 196

Step-by-step explanation ;

Let price of desk be ' x '

And that of chair = ' x + 12 % of x '

= x + 12 × x / 100

= x + 3x / 25

= 25x + 3x / 25

= 28x / 25

According to the question ,,,,

=> Price of desk + Price of chair = ₹ 371

=> x + 28x / 25 = 371

=> 25x + 28x / 25 = 371

=> 53x / 25 = 371

=> 53x = 371 × 25

=> 53x = 9275

=> x = 175

=> Price of desk = x = ₹ 175

=> Price of chair = 28x / 25 = 28 × 175 / 25

= 4900 / 25

= ₹ 196
