Question

Rajni sold a pressure cooker at a loss of 8%.Had she bought it at 10% less and sold for Rs.176 more, she would have gained 20%.Find the cost price of the pressure cooker .

*Use x as C.P.

Answer 1

let as assume the cost price CP=100
then selling price SP =100*0.92=92
if bought at 10% loss then CP=90

and SP=90*1.20=108

the difference is 16(108-92) when CP 100

so difference will be 176 when CP will be 1100.
