loss of 10% , it is sold at a gain of 10% Find the cost price of
the table

Rohit Sekhar · Answer

Suppose the C P be 'Z' then in case of loss = Z- (10% of Z)=9Z /
10,
Now, In case of Profit = Z+(10% of Z) = 11Z/10----The difference
between Profit and Loss --- P- L=470 i e (11Z/10)-(9Z/10)=470
So we can write (2Z / 10)=470,----thus, Z=(470*10) / 2 = 2350
The C P
