Question

The CP of two watches taken together is 840. If by selling one at a profit of 16% and the other at a
loss of 12, there is no gain or loss in the whole transaction then find the CP of each watch​

Answer 1

The CP of first watch is 360

The CP of second watch is 480

Answer 2

Answer:

CP of first watch is Rs. 360 and second watch is 840 - 360 = Rs. 480

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost price of one watch be Rs. x

Cost price of second watch is Rs. (840 - x)

Selling price of first watch = 116 x/100

Selling price of second watch = 88(840 - x)/100

According to the question,

840 = 116x/100 + 88(840 - x)/100

Solving this we get x = Rs. 360

CP of first watch is Rs. 360 and second watch is 840 - 360 = Rs. 480
