A dealer sells a table at 20% profit. Had he purchased it for 6% lesser cost and sold for Rs. 50 less he would have earned a profit of 25%. Find the cost of the table.
Let the cost of table =Rs.x
Profit =20%
SP=Cost+Profit=x+20% of x =x+x5=6x5
Now, New cost price =x−6100×x =94x100
New selling price =6x5−50
New Profit = New SP - New CP =6x5−50−94x100=26x100−50
New Profit =25% of New CP =25100×94x100=47x200
Hence, 47x200=26x100−50
47x−52x200=−50
5x=200×50
x=2000Rs
Thus, Cost Price =Rs.2000
