Question

A man would gain 25% by selling a chair for rs47.5 and would gain 15% by selling a table for rs57.5.he sells the chair for rs36.what is least price for which he must sell table to avoid any loss on the two together?

Answer 1

cost price of chair = 47.5/1.25 = 38
cost price of table = 57.5/1.15 = 50

so break-even cost = 50+38 = 88

but he sold the chair for 36, so he must sell the table for at least 88-36 or 52 to avoid a loss

Answer 2

Cost Price of chair = 100/125 * 47.5
= 38 Rs.
Cost Price of table = 100/115 * 57.5
= 50 Rs.
Required SP of table = (50 + 38) - 45 = 43 Rs.
