Question

There is some loss when a fan is sold for Rs 1725.On selling the same fan for Rs 1650,the loss is double than the previous one.What will be there profit or loss, if the fan is sold for 1825 Rs

Answer 1

let cp=x
loss=y
x-1725=y-----------1
x-1650=2y----------2
put 1 in 2

x-1650=2(x-1725)
3450-1650=x
x=1800

so sp=1825
so profit= 1825-1800=25
