Question
'C' sells a laptop at a profit of 50%. Had the profit percentage earned on selling the laptop been numerically equal to the cost price of the laptop, then the profit earned on selling the laptop now would have been 500% more than previously. Find the actual cost price of the laptop.
Or, x = 3. Therefore, the actual cost price of the laptop = 100x = 100 x 3 = Rs. 300.More Profit and loss Questions
