Question
A businessman made a profit of 35% on an item, while
another businessman sold the same item for a 27% profit. If the first businessman’s profit was Rs. 56 more than the second businessman’s profit, what was the cost price of the item?Solution
ATQ;
Let the cost price of the item = Rs. ‘x’
Selling price of the item for the first businessman = Rs. ‘1.35x’
Selling price of the item for the second businessman = Rs. ‘1.27x’
ATQ;
(1.35x – 1.27x) = 56
Or, 0.08x = 56
So, x = 56 / 0.08 = 700
Therefore, cost price of the item = Rs. 700
