Question

the difference between two selling prices of a shirts with profits of 4% and 5% respectively is rs 6 find c.p. of the shirt and s.p. of each shirt

Answer 1

105 % of CP- 104% of CP = 6

CP/100= 6
CP= 600

SP of 4% profit shirt = 104% of 600 = 624

SP of 5% profit shirt = 105% of 600 = 630

Answer 2

Answer:Let CP of both shirts be rs X each

IN CASE OF 1ST SHIRT,

CP= rs X

PROFIT%=4%

SP=100+4/100 × X= rs 104X/100

IN CASE OF 2ND SHIRT,

CP=rs X

PROFIT=5%

SP=rs 105X/100

ACCORDING TO QUESTION

(105X/100)-(104X/100)=6

X/100=6

X=600

CP of shirts=rs 600

SP OF 1ST SHIRT=rs 624

SP OF 2ND SHIRT= rs 630
