Anu sells an article at a profit of 25%. If she had bought it at 25% less and sold it for Rs. 30.25 less she would have gained 30%. What is the original price (in Rs) of the article?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 110
Let the CP of a article be 100x then,
S.P1 = 100 + 25% of 100 = 125x
If she had bought it at 25% less i.e 75x she would have gained 30% i.e S.P2 = 75x + 30% of 75x = 97.5x
S.P1 - S.P2 = 30.25
27.5x = 30.25, x = 1.1
C.P = 100x = Rs. 110
