A man says that he gained 10 percent as profit in selling a suitable cloth material. He says if he had purchased the same one 10 percent cheaper than it was actual and if he had sold it for 20% profit he gets 25paise less. find at what price he sold the suit.?

• let cp = 100 then sp = 110;
  when cp= 90 then sp = 108;
  Now when 200p less sp = 108
  So 25 p less, sp = 108/200*25=13.5 ans

  Let CP be Rs100 and he got 10% profit =Rs10 SP be Rs 110
  10%lesser means Rs 90 .On solding 20% profit then SP be Rs 108
  He got 2 rupees less
  Let x be cost of cloth
  100:x :: 2:.25
  x=100/8=12.5
