A sweet seller sells 3/5th part of sweets at a profit of 10% and remaining at a loss of 5%. If the total profit is Rs 1500, then what is the total cost price of sweets ?

Correct Answer: Rs.37,500

Explanation:

Assume A be the cost price.


 


Therefore,
3 5 × A × 10 100   -   2 5 × A × 5 100   =   1500


 


=>  A = Rs 37,500.
