Answer 2

Answer:

The selling price of the commodity is Rs.159

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Given Data:  

Let us assume  

The cost price be 100

So, the selling price at 4%gain=104

Step 2:

The Selling price at 6% gain=106

Step 3:

Difference =3

So 106-104=3rs

2=3rs

Step 4:

So 1=3/2

And 100=3/2 x 100=150

The Cost price=150

Step 5:

The Selling price at 4%=150+4/100*150=6

The Selling price at 4%=156

Step 6:

The Selling price at 6%=150+6/100 x 150=9

The Selling price at 6%=159
