- Given that,he sold at a gain of 10%..........so he sold the article at 110% of original cost price----(1)
so that he got 360 rupees less when he sold the same article at a loss of 8%.-----(2)
loss of 8% means he sold article at 92% of cost price...------(3)
from above three we can write
110% of c.p = 92% of c.p+360
by solving we got "c.p=2000" - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
