Q94: A trader sells an article at a 10% loss. Later, he increases the selling price by 15%, making it Rs 54. What was the original cost price of the article?

50

52.17

55

60

Explanation

Step 1: Define CP

Let the cost price be x.

Step 2: Selling price with 10% loss

That means:

$Initial SP = x - 10% of x = x - 0.10 x = 0.90 x$

Step 3: Sale time price increases by 15%

This new selling price is:

$New SP = 0.90 x + 15% of 0.90 x = 0.90 x + 0.135 x = 1.035 x$

We are told that this equals 54:

$1.035x = 54$

Step 4: Solve for x

$x = 54$ 1.035≈52.17
