The total cost price of two watches is

₹ 900 .

One is sold at a profit of

20 \%

and the other at a loss of

25 \%

. There is no loss or gain in the whole transaction. The cost price of the watch on which the shopkeeper loses is

Solution:

Let

{\CP}

of watches which sold on profit and loss be

₹ x

and

₹(900-x),

respectively.
Then,

{120}/{100} × x+{75}/{100}(900-x)=900

⇒{45 x}/{100}=225

⇒x=({225 × 100}/{45})=500

∴ Required

\CP=₹(900-x)=₹(900-500)=₹ 400
