Explanation:
CP = [100/(100 - Loss%) ] x SP
CP = 6000 x (100/75) = 8000
Correct Answer: ? 1850
Explanation:
CP = (100/120) x 2220 = ? 1850
Correct Answer: ? 7000

Given, CP = ? 350 and gain = 15%
? SP = [(100 + Gain%) / 100] x CP
= (115/100) x 350 = 115 x (7/2)
= ? 402.50

According to the question,
7x = 700
? x = 100
? CP = 3x = ? = 300
Correct Answer: 25%
Explanation:
Let number of apples bought = 5 x 6 = 30 [LCM of 5 and 6]
CP = (10/5) x 30 = ? 60
SP = (15/6) x 30 = ? 75
? Gain = SP - CP = 75 - 60 = ? 15
