Solution:

(1) C.P. of first toy = Rs. x
C.P. of second toy = Rs. y
∴

∴{x × 112}/{100}=504

⇒ x= {504 × 100}/{112}= {Rs} .450

Again,

y ×{96}/{100}=504

⇒ y= {504 ×100}/{96}= {Rs} .525

Total C.P. = Rs. (450 + 525) = Rs. 975
Total S.P. = 2 × 504 = Rs. 1008
Gain = 1008 – 975 = Rs. 33
∴Profit percent

= {33 × 100}/{975}

= {44}/{13}=3 {5}/{13} \%
