Marks: +1, -0

A trader sells an article at

16 \%

below its cost price. Had he sold it for ₹

192.20

more, he would have gained

15 \%

. The cost price (in ₹) of the article is

Solution:

Let the CP

=₹ 100 x

Then,

{SP}=100 x ×(\;{100-16}/{100})=₹ 86 x

New, SP

= {CP} ×(\;{100+P \%}/{100})

=100 x × \;{115 x}/{100}=₹ 115 x

According to the question,

\;115 x-84 x \;\; =192.20

⇒\;31 x \;\; =192.20

⇒\;x \;\; =6.2

\; ∴ C P=100 x=100\;× 62=₹ 620
