A person sold 3/5 of a consignment at a profit of 35% and the rest at a loss of 25%. If there was an overall profit of 715, what is the actual cost of the consignment?

Answer»

6500



Let the TOTAL CP = ‘x’

Then first SP = 3x/5 × 135/100 = 81x/100

And the second SP = 2x/5 × 75/100 = 30x/100

:. Total SP = 81x/100 + 3x/100 = 111x/100.

SP – CP = profit, So, 111x/100 – x = 715

i.e 11X = 71500 and so, x = 71500/11 = 6500
