Question

the profit obtained by selling an article for Rs 42000 is 25% less than the loss obtained by selling it for 14000 find the cost price​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

42000x25 divided by 100

by cancelling it will

$42000 \times 25 \div 100$

the answer is

$420 \times 25$

$10500$

and

$3500$

10500-3500=

7000

Answer 2

Answer:

let,cost price=x

Given,profit=selling price-cost price

=42000-x

loss=cost price-selling price

=x-14000

from the question,

given, profit=75% of loss

42000-x=75/100(x-14000)

42000-x=3/4(x-14000)

168000-4x=3x-42000

7x=210000

X=30000

therefore,cost price=30000/-
