A man sells an article at a profit of 25%. if he had bought it at 20% less and sold it for Rs.10.5..

Answer / techbots

buy value = X
profit = 0.25X
sell value =1.25X

20% less = X-0.2X=0.8X (new buy value)
1.25X-10.5 = new sell value

so (1.25X-10.5-0.8X)/0.8X = 30/100

so 45X-1050 = 24X

so 21X=1050

X = 50

so buy value = X=50

Answer / akher

SP=1.25CP.
Also, SP-10.50=0.80*1.30CP.
So, 1.25CP-1.04CP=10.50.
CP=10.50/.21=50
So Rs50 is the Cost price!

Answer / sv

CP - Cost Price
SP - Selling Price

1st eqn
CP + 0.25CP = SP

2nd eqn
CP - 0.20CP - 10.50 + 0.30(CP - 0.20CP - 10.50) = SP

from above 2 eqn
0.21CP=7.35
CP = 35

Cost Price is Rs 35.
