Question
The sum of the cost prices of two articles, 'I' and 'J',
is Rs. 750. Both articles are marked up by 40%, whereas the marked price of article 'J' is Rs. 140 more than that of article 'I'. Find the marked price of article 'J'.Solution
ATQ, Let the cost price of article 'I' and 'J' be Rs. 'x' and Rs. 'y', respectively. So, x + y = 750 ............(I) And, 1.40(y - x) = 140 So, y - x = 100 .............(II) Adding equations (I) and (II), we get, x + y + y - x = 750 + 100 Or, 2y = 850 So, 'y' = (850/2) = 425 Therefore, marked price of article 'J' = 425 x 1.40 = Rs. 595
