Answer 1

Answer:

430

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• By selling a watch on 400 and 460’. Loss and profit happened respectively.
• The loss and profit are equal.

And we need to find out the CP .So ,

Let :-

• CP be x
• Profit and Lost be y .

According to the Question :-

$:\implies$ 460 = x + y ( Profit)

$:\implies$ 400 = x - y ( Loss)

Adding both :-

$:\implies$ 460 + 400 = x + y + x - y

$:\implies$ 860 = 2x

$:\implies$ x = 860/2

$:\implies$ x = 430

Hence the Cost price of the watch is 430 .
