Question
A trader marked an article 35% above its cost price and
sold it after allowing a discount of 20%. If the transaction resulted in a profit of Rs. 34, then find the cost price of the articleSolution
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. ‘x’ Marked price of the article = x × 1.35 = Rs. ‘1.35x’ Selling price of the article = 1.35x × 0.8 = Rs. ‘1.08x’ Profit = 1.08x – x = Rs. ‘0.08x’ ATQ; 0.08x = 34 So, x = 425 Therefore, cost price of the article is Rs. 425.
If (x –1.3)3+(x–1.4)3+(x–1.5)3 = 3(x–1.3)(x–1.4)(x–1.5), Then x = ?
If (x + y + z) = 68, (x/z) = (3/4) and (z/y) = (2/5), then find the value of ‘y’.
