a man bought a table and sold it at a gain of 10%.if he had bouht it at 20% less and soled it for Rs 10 more.he would have gained 40%.the cost price of the table is

• let the c.p be x
  gain = 0.1x
  s.p = 1.1x
  if c.p less than 20%
  new c.p = 0.8x
  new s.p = 1.1x+10
  gain = 40% of 0.8x
  0.3x+10 = 0.32x
  0.02x = 10
  x= 500
  c.p = Rs.500
