Answer:

Rs 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = 5%

Loss = 5%

<u><em>For CP</em></u>

Profit = 1.05x

Loss = 0.95x

<u><em>Given Condition:</em></u>

Let CP be x

1.05 x = 50 + 0.95x

=> 1.05x-0.95x = 50

=> 0.1 x = 50

<u><em>Dividing both sides by 0.1</em></u>

=> x = Rs 500

Answer:

Rs. 500

Step-by-step explanation:

CP= x

SP at 5% profit= 1.05x

SP at 5% loss= 0.95x

The difference= Rs. 50

  • 1.05x- 0.95x= 50
  • 0.1x= 50
  • x= 50/0.1
  • x= 500

CP is Rs. 500

Marcus is 5 7/24 feet tall Ben is 5 5/16 feet tall which of the two boys is taller? Justify your answer
FromTheMoon [43]
To figure out who is taller, we can take each mixed number and find a common denominator.

5/16 (x3) 15/48
7/24 (x2) 14/48

This tells us that Ben is taller because Marcus is shorter than him by 1/48.
