The profit earned after selling an article for Rs. 1,516 is the same as loss incurred after selling the article for Rs. 1,112. What is the cost price of the article ?
Nithin ? Aug 11 '2022 at 8:11
Correct answer is: Rs. 1,314
Explanation:
Let the cost price of the artice be Rs. x.
According to the question,\(1516 - x = x - 1112\)
\(\implies 2x = 1516 + 1112 = 2628\)
\(\implies x =\frac{2628}{2}\)
\(= Rs. 1314\)
By selling 18 chocolates, a vendor loses the selling price of 12 chocolates. Find his loss percent.
Nithin ? Aug 11 '2022 at 7:44
Correct answer is: \(\text{10%}\)
Explanation:
If the S.P. of 1 chocolate be Re.1, then
S.P. of 18 chocolates = Rs.18
C.P. = 18 + 2 = Rs.20\(\therefore \text{Loss percent =} \Large \frac{2}{20} \times 100\)
= 10%
Cost of 4 fans and 3 blowers is Rs.16,500. Also cost of 2 fans. 2 tables and 2 blowers is Rs.12000. Cost of one table is Rs.1,000. What is the cost of 3 fans and one blower?
Nithin ? Aug 10 '2022 at 22:10
Correct Answer is: Rs.8,000
Explanation:
Let C.P. of 1 fan = Rs.x
CP of 1 blower = Rs.y
CP of 1 table = Rs.1000 (given)\(\therefore \Large 4x+3y = 16500\)
\(\Large 2x+2y+2 \times 1000 = 12000\)
=> 2x + 2y = 12000 - 2000 = 10000
=> x + y = 5000
Equation (ii) x 4 - (i),
y = 20000 - 16500 = 3500
=> x = 5000 - 3500 = 1500\(\therefore 3x + y = \Large 3 \times 1500 + 3500\)
= Rs.8000
