A Tricycle Is Sold At A Gain Of 16%. Had It Been Sold For Rs.100 More

1.	A Tricycle Is Sold At A Gain Of 16%. Had It Been Sold For Rs.100 More, The Gain Would Have Been 20%. Find The C.p Of The Tricycle ?
Answer» Let the S.P of the tricycle be Rs. x Let the C.P of the tricycle be Rs. y Gain % = 16% Then we have, = x= y+ 16y100 = x = y+ 0.16y When S.P increases by Rs.100, we get = x+ 100 = y + 20 y 100 PUTTING x = 1.6y = 1.16y+100 = y+0.2y = 1.16y +100 = 1.2y = y = 2500 The C.P of the cycle is 2500 Thus, C.P of the tricycle is Rs. 2500. Let the S.P of the tricycle be Rs. x Let the C.P of the tricycle be Rs. y Gain % = 16% Then we have, = x= y+ 16y100 = x = y+ 0.16y When S.P increases by Rs.100, we get = x+ 100 = y + 20 y 100 Putting x = 1.6y = 1.16y+100 = y+0.2y = 1.16y +100 = 1.2y = y = 2500 The C.P of the cycle is 2500 Thus, C.P of the tricycle is Rs. 2500.

Answer»

Let the S.P of the tricycle be Rs. x

Let the C.P of the tricycle be Rs. y

Gain % = 16%

Then we have,

= x= y+ 16y100

= x = y+ 0.16y

When S.P increases by Rs.100, we get

= x+ 100 = y + 20 y 100

PUTTING x = 1.6y

= 1.16y+100 = y+0.2y

= 1.16y +100 = 1.2y

= y = 2500

The C.P of the cycle is 2500

Thus, C.P of the tricycle is Rs. 2500.
