Answer:

let cp be x

sp= 115x/100 ---(when 15%gain)

sp = 88x/100------(when 12% loss

according to question

115x/100 - 88x/100 = 81

or, (115x-88x)= 8100

or, 27x = 8100

or, x= 8100/27

x = 300

hence cp is RS 300

What is the answer to this math equation(x+5)(x²-3x)

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$x=-5\\x=0\\x=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume your equation to solve is

$(x+5)(x^2-3x)=0$

When we have a product of two factors equal to zero,

$A\cdot B = 0$

The solution is either A = 0 or B = 0.

In this case, this means that we can break the equation into two equations:

$x+5=0\\x^2-3x=0$

Solving the first one, we get:

$x+5=0 \rightarrow x = -5$

For the second one, we rewrite it as:

$x^2-3x=0\\x(x-3)=0$

And we see that this equation has two solutions:

$x=0\\x=3$

Therefore, the three solutions are:

$x=-5\\x=0\\x=3$
