An article is bought for ₹600 and sold at a loss of 12%. Find the selling price, then find the cost price of another article sold for ₹528 at a loss of 12%.

Show answer

₹528 and ₹600

For the first article, S.P. = 88% of ₹600 = ₹528. For the second, C.P. = 528 × 100 ÷ 88 = ₹600.

A trader sells a set of goods for ₹1,200 and gains 20%. Had the goods cost ₹100 more, the same selling price would have given a different profit percent. Find the original cost price and the new profit percent after the cost increase.

Show answer

₹1,000 and 9.09%

If ₹1,200 is 120% of C.P., then C.P. = ₹1,200 × 100 ÷ 120 = ₹1,000. New cost price = ₹1,100. Profit = ₹1,200 - ₹1,100 = ₹100. New profit percent = (100 ÷ 1,100) × 100 = 9.09%.
