Question

Two Cows were brought at the same cost each one was sold at a profit of 5% AND THE other was sold at a loss of 7%. if the actual difference of the selling prices were Rs144. What is the cost price of each cow

Answer 1

Answer:

rs 1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say cost price of each cow = c

Loss 7 % = (7/100)c

Selling price = c - 7c/100  = 93c/100

Profit 5 % = (5/100)c

Selling Price = c + 5c/100 = 105c/100

Difference in selling price

105c/100 - 93c/100 = 144

12c = 144 * 100

c = 1200

cost price of each cow = rs 1200

Answer 2

Let say cost price of each cow = c

Loss 7 % = (7/100)c

Selling price = c - 7c/100  = 93c/100

Profit 5 % = (5/100)c

Selling Price = c + 5c/100 = 105c/100

Difference in selling price

105c/100 - 93c/100 = 144

12c = 144 * 100

c = 1200

cost price of each cow = rs 1200
