By selling a product a seller is gaining 10% on selling price. If he sell that product Rs.80 less, he would have been losing 10%. What is the cost price?

• Let cp = x
  Sp = 1.1x
  ATQ
  1.1x – 80 = .9x
  X= 400

• It is not clear whether in this statement
  By selling a product a seller is gaining 10% on selling price. If he sell that product Rs.80 less, he would have been losing 10%.
  
  The loss is on CP or SP.
  
  As a normal convention, taking loss on CP, sol is given here
  
  If 90 x is CP and 100 x is SP earlier , then now
  0.9*90x = 100x-80
  19 x =80
  x= 80/19
  
  CP = 90*80/19 = 7200/19 = Rs. 378.95

• ans is 360
  let cp=x and s.p=y
  1.1y-80=.9y
  or y=400
  x=(y-0.1y)=400-40=360 okey

• 1.1*x-80=0.9*x
  X=400
  Cost price is x which is 400

• Let c.p=x
  S.P=110/100, so->1.1x
  1.1x-80=(90/100), so->.9x
  1.1x-80=.9x
  x=400

• let CP be x
  then SP =1.1x(considering 10% gain)
  
  again,
  SP =x-((10/100)*x) =0.9x (considering 10% loss)
  now,
  1.1x-0.9x=80
  so , x= 400

• 800
  0.1X = 80
  i.e X= 800

• SP-CP=PROFIT
  100-90=10
  IF 90 IS 100% THEN 100 IS 111.1111111% AND NOT THE 110%
  ATQ
  1.111111X-80-X= (-) .10X
  SO ANSWER WILL BE 378.95
