5% = 10
1%=2
100% = 200 (Answer)

Let Cost price of the article = Rs X
When SP is Rs 340, then gain %={(340−X)/X}×100
When SP is Rs 350, then gain %={(350−X)/X}×100
Hence Additional % gain {(350−X)/X}− {(340−X)/X}×100
Hence {(350−X)/X}×100− {(340−X)/X}×100 = 5
→35000−100− 34000+ 100X) = 5X
or 5X = 1000
or X = Rs 200
Alternately

5% more is gained by selling an article for Rs 350 than by selling it for Rs 340
Additional Gain = 350−340 = Rs 10
i.e Rs 10 = 5 % of the cost of the article
Hence Cost of article = 10×100/5 = Rs200

350-340=10

5%=10
100%=x
by cross multiplication
100%=200

ans 200
when SP = 350
P% = (350-x)/x*100

when SP = 340
P% = (340-x)/x*100

5% more is gained by selling article for rs. 350 than for 340

(350-x)/x - (340-x)/x = 5/100
10/x = 5/100
x = 200
