Question 69

A shop keeper reduces the selling price of an article by 39, a gain of 10% turns in to a loss of 3%, then the original price of the article is?

Solution

Here the net change is 10+3 =13%
Given that this 13% change has occurred due to the change in SP i.e SP has decreased by 39
So we can say that 13% of CP=39
13*CP/100 =39
CP=3900/13
CP=Rs 300
