Trader sells at 30% profit. If bought 20% less and sold Rs 60 less, profit is 30%. CP?
Correct Answer
Rs. 230.76
• Initial: CP=100x, SP=130x. • New: CP'=80x. SP'=130x-60. • Profit: SP' = 1.3 × CP' -> 130x - 60 = 1.3(80x) = 104x. • Solve: 26x = 60 -> x = 60/26. ......
💡 Analysis & Explanation
• Initial
CP=100x, SP=130x.
• New
CP'=80x. SP'=130x-60.
• Profit
SP' = 1.3 × CP' -> 130x - 60 = 1.3(80x) = 104x.
• Solve
26x = 60 -> x = 60/26.
• CP
100(60/26) = 6000/26 ≈ 230.76.
